Formerly was known as Kompas Online, which provided the Internet edition of the Kompas Daily newspaper. Towards the end of 1997 the management decided that a separate entity was required to focus solely on Internet related business, and hence Kompas Cyber Media was incorporated. The company not only offers advertising opportunities to local companies, but also can provide services such as creative design, production, web applications, a payment facility, Internet consulting and web maintenance. Kompas Cyber Media is committed to support and boost the use of the Internet and E-Commerce in Indonesia. This objective forms is one part of a non-profit activity undertaken by the company, which often can be seen supporting seminars and other Internet related campaigns locally. Kompas Cyber Media has established a "one-stop service" for developing and managing a website.
