Özgür Öztürk, EVP of Development and Engineer at Komtaş, spoke about Komtaş’s services and solutions. Öztürk said the following:
Komtaş is a company that has been providing data and analytics-focused services to its “enterprise”-level customers—both directly and through its ecosystem partners—for over 35 years. We currently provide our clients with services in data management, data governance, “data warehouse,” “data lake,” “artificial intelligence,” analytics, and “business intelligence.” While these services were previously provided in a decentralized manner through our ecosystem companies, an organizational change we implemented this year has consolidated the “delivery” teams from all these ecosystem companies under a single team. This enables us to serve our clients with a team of over 160 people, which represents a significant “delivery” capacity for a company focused on the data sector in Turkey. Of course, with the advent of artificial intelligence, business models are changing. However, we’re seeing that while many of our customers want to use AI to achieve certain goals, what’s actually missing isn’t the AI models themselves. What’s truly crucial is the proper processing, management, and organizational structure of the underlying data that feeds the AI. At Komtaş, we help our customers on their AI journeys by first focusing on data—mapping out a process from data to orchestration—to ensure they use AI more accurately and efficiently. Among our current clients are major companies such as Akbank, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, and Ziraat Bank, and we provide both service and product support to all of them on various topics. As part of Komtaş’s DNA, we also act as a distributor in Turkey for a wide range of data-related products. We offer products such as “Informatica,” “Teradata,” “Qlik,” “Dataiku,” and “Data Flame” to our customers. However, in this new era, we can actually deliver these “delivery” services in a technology-agnostic manner, utilizing the technologies our clients need most or are currently using. This is a wonderful and exciting new era. That’s why all companies are eager to jump on the AI bandwagon. But the foundation for this is ensuring they process their data correctly. We support them in this regard.
