“We are investing in Turkey’s cloud technology”
SabancıDx General Manager Tevfik Kor, who pointed out Turkey's serious potential in digital transformation and cloud computing today, when the critical importance of data is constantly increasing, stated: "Thanks to digitalization, cloud computing investments that support the global economy are also expanding day by day. In the last five years, the cloud market in total has reached $600 billion, up from $200 billion. The market volume is expected to exceed $1.2 trillion in the next five years. Given this potential in the market, we are setting off on a new journey with Microsoft to achieve our goals in cloud technologies and create new workforce areas. We will use the speed and agility of cloud technologies to accelerate our customers' digital transformations through the Artificial Intelligence-Powered Hybrid Cloud Solution Center we will establish at SabancDx Digital Campus as part of our investment in Turkey's cloud technology infrastructure.
Kristina Tikhonova, Microsoft's General Manager for Southeast Europe said, “Cloud-based technology investments are extremely important because they contribute to the country's digital transformation. We believe that many organizations will adopt cloud and artificial intelligence technologies and use these tools as a catalyst for economic growth, increased productivity, and social development thanks to this agreement, which heralds the journey Microsoft Türkiye and SabancıDx will set off on shoulder-to-shoulder. We appreciate SabancıDx's efforts in this field and are pleased to have expanded the scope of our business partnership with them."
Pointing out the hand-to-hand progress of cloud technologies and artificial intelligence technologies, Levent Özbilgin, General Manager of Microsoft Türkiye, stated: "The system we call the cloud is essentially a scale. The cloud is the key to effortlessly doing what we previously said ’can never be done or can only be done through tools such as supercomputers and quantum computers.' Cloud makes scaling possible as scaling makes artificial intelligence development possible. We express on all occasions that Turkey should use cloud technologies as leverage. We are pleased to make a significant contribution to both our country's cloud technologies infrastructure and the widespread use of cloud and artificial intelligence by SMEs and our corporate customers SabancDx will provide services for, thanks to our collaboration with SabancDx, which we believe will set a highly successful example in this field."
