How to get started….in Turkey
Our Company decided that we have to establish a nearshore Development Center. This is a project with a great potential impact and must be well analysed. We have checked many Options and Locations and decided to locate our Center in Istanbul.
Istanbul, a dream of a city with approximately 18 Million inhabits and a rich of culture and history. As part of the decision I received the order to build up the location, it was an amazing journey with many surprises and unexpected turns. At the end of the journey there was a new born company, COMNI BILISIM LTD. STI. with a young turkish team of fantastic developers.
We will introduce them in our Team Comni section. But I will start to narrate the adventure form the beginning, the start point of the story was on the 23.12.18, my first trip to get information and in touch with the people who will be involved in this project. As a Team of two, we started up with Oktay, who knows Instanbul very well and more important, he has a good shaped network. We made many many kilometres without really learning something new, I must confess the traffic jams in Istanbul are really enjoyable and not to explain, you must try it personally to understand what I mean. A short example, my personal record was an traffic jam of seventy kilometres which took me about four hours of extra time.
