Using Open-Source Software to Support Network Management Transformation in Indonesia's Digital Telecommunications Industry

This study investigates the transformative role of open-source software (OSS) in enhancing network management within Indonesia's telecommunications sector.Using a mixedmethods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews, the research identifies key drivers of OSS adoption, including technological readiness, organizational support, and regulatory frameworks.The findings highlight how OSS adoption can overcome operational challenges and improve network management efficiency, providing actionable insights for industry leaders and policymakers.The study presents a novel framework for OSS integration, which is particularly relevant in the context of Indonesia's digital transformation.Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed the robustness of the findings, with strong model fit indices (CFI=0.95,RMSEA=0.06).This research contributes to the understanding of OSS adoption in emerging markets, offering practical recommendations to increase OSS integration within Indonesia's telecommunication sector and enhance the industry's overall digital transformation.
