Cloudera's unified data platform offers robust governance, end-to-end security, and hybrid deployment flexibility, ensuring compliance with Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia’s (BI) regulations while supporting BNI’s data sovereignty goals. The platform's AI and machine learning capabilities enable BNI to scale predictive analytics, fraud detection, and customer personalization efficiently and securely [1].

BNI is already utilizing machine learning for various applications, such as product recommendation, supply chain analytics, online gambling detection, chatbot for product knowledge, and churn prediction. These initiatives aim to deliver smarter, faster, and more responsible digital banking services to Indonesians [1].
