RENDER FARM INITIATIVE

APMI, a non-profit organization for multimedia industry, served as a platform that associated communications among the industry stakeholders such as vendors, academics, and the government. These stakeholders were convinced that the industry would have grown faster if there were more facilities to encourage the creation of the content.

Hence Brata T. Hardjosubroto who acted as the chairman of APMI together with a government body, initiated to form a community (called MIKTI) to encourage the production of information technology-based multimedia contents. At the same time he carried out concepts into action by building a render farm facility to encourage the digital content creations.

On September 2008, the render farm facility was ready to operate, and MIKTI was due to launch. Hardjosubroto and APMI realized that they needed to stick back to their vision and mission, and let the development of the content advances through MIKTI. Together with some political and technical situations, Hardjosubroto and his team must decide on who would run the render farm facility.
