IFT Group has partnered with BellSoft, the US-based OpenJDK provider, to modernize and secure the Java applications that run corporate operations in Indonesia. Inventori frames it as strengthening the country's "digital fortress", at a time when Indonesia logged up to 5.5 billion cyberattacks in 2025 (Presidential Staff Office) and banking, telecoms, and public services depend on secure infrastructure.
Transparent licensing, leaner memory, better performance
BellSoft CEO Alex Belokrylov called Indonesia a strategic market in BellSoft's Southeast Asia expansion. Liberica JDK, recommended by Spring, gives companies:
- clear, stable licensing amid complex global Java licensing;
- regular critical-vulnerability updates and zero-CVE container images;
- up to 30% less memory and storage with Liberica JDK Lite;
- 10–15% faster Java 8 and 11 applications on a JDK 21-based JVM with the Performance Edition, without complex code migration.
Supply-chain risk in the AI Era
Omdia research finds 77% of organizations worldwide have had a software supply-chain security incident. Belokrylov's view is that AI doesn't invent new problems, it speeds up existing ones, so security has to start with which components are let into a system. BellSoft's answer is an SBOM for full component visibility, minimal Alpaquita Linux base images, and ongoing updates.
Technology transfer and local skills
For IFT Group, the partnership goes beyond bringing in global technology. It is also about developing the skills of Indonesia's own engineers. "Many of Indonesia's most important enterprise systems are built on Java," said Founder Arifa Tan. She added that IFT Group wants to give Indonesian companies secure, efficient, and modern Java and a technology foundation ready for cloud and AI.
