PT Rupa Aestetika Teknologi Aktual (Rata) is a provider of integrated dental care solutions through its aligner products, focusing on service efficiency and treatment quality. To support its operations, Rata has developed systems and applications used by both internal teams and external partners such as affiliates and medical professionals—requiring secure, integrated, and reliable infrastructure.
Cloud technology has become the foundation to ensure smooth operations. The flexibility and reliability of cloud solutions help Rata maintain high-quality services while adapting to its growing business.
Rata’s Challenge: High Costs and Untracked Hidden Expenses
While cloud offers scalability, faster innovation, enhanced collaboration, and stronger security, the main challenge lies in managing costs that grow along with usage. Effective cloud cost control is critical to ensure technology investments deliver optimal value for business operations.
According to Brammatia Mahardhicha, Tech & Engineering Manager at Rata, the company faced high operational expenses due to hidden costs that were difficult to trace accurately. This situation hindered the development of sustainable efficiency strategies.
“We realized the need for a cloud service that is transparent, measurable, and cost-efficient so our strategies could be executed more effectively. Through Akamai’s recommendation, we partnered with CDT, who helped us find the right solution,” said Brammatia.
This need led Rata to adopt Akamai’s cloud solution, with full support from Central Data Technology (CDT) as the local partner. As a result, Rata gained better visibility into its cloud usage while significantly reducing operational expenses.
Optimizing Akamai Solutions for Rata, with Full Support from CDT
For Rata, finding a technology partner that could provide cost transparency while supporting business growth was a top priority. This need was met by Akamai through its transparent and competitive pricing model.
One of the most impactful services for Rata was the Egress Out Cost feature. In practice, data transfer fees often become a major operational burden, but through this service, Rata managed to significantly reduce data traffic expenses.
Beyond cost efficiency, Akamai also provided innovation support through its R&D Credit program, which gives Rata the flexibility to develop new services and conduct technology experiments without incurring large additional costs.
The entire process was fully supported by CDT as Akamai’s strategic local partner. CDT not only ensured the technology implementation was completed on time and without issues but also acted as a trusted advisor throughout Rata’s migration journey. From transitioning the old cloud system to the new infrastructure, providing experience-based insights, to delivering relevant solutions, CDT ensured that every step added real value.
This end-to-end support allowed Rata to achieve both operational efficiency and service stability aligned with its business growth vision.
Rata Achieves 60% Cost Savings and Greater Service Stability
The migration to Akamai Cloud solutions, supported by CDT, delivered significant results for Rata. The company successfully reduced operational costs by up to 60% without compromising its existing service level agreements (SLAs).
In addition to cost savings, Rata also experienced more consistent system stability compared to its previous provider. This improvement built greater customer trust and reliability in using Rata’s platform every day.
Rata’s experience demonstrates that digital transformation success in the healthcare industry depends not only on technology adoption but also on choosing the right partner. Cost transparency, innovation support, and reliable technical guidance proved to be key factors in ensuring operational efficiency while maintaining service quality.
The collaboration between Rata, Akamai, and CDT serves as a clear example of how strategic partnerships can deliver sustainable value. With a stronger technology foundation, Rata is ready to advance further in providing efficient, innovative, and high-quality dental care solutions for the community.
