Volkan Duman, the General Manager of vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. , stated that they aim to become a reliable harbor in Europe. He said, "With the portvMind brand, we aim to deliver our products and solutions to potential customers in Europe easily and securely.

vMind offers a wide range of services, from network-level to application-level.
Volkan Duman, who expressed their dream of establishing vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. to be the leading cloud brand in Turkey, touched upon important issues regarding data security and cloud services. Duman stated, "Cloud Computing is an area where all companies can use and receive good services. Being able to provide this with managed services in Turkey was important. vMind cloud computing services provide a packaged service covering many layers, from network level to application level. Cloud service is actually a business that can achieve its main goal when the service and technical details are provided together. The secret of vMind lies in providing added value, having a fast and reliable platform at each layer with international high IT standards and integration experience. With the possibilities provided by technology and innovations, now companies of all sizes around the world are planning to move parts of their IT infrastructure or the entire system to cloud environments. There are also payment advantages to help companies with financial benefits and to foresee a consistent budget. To keep companies that transition to the cloud standing at all times, you need to provide good service with good brands. Within YTU Yildiz Technopark, we have created a cloud brand called portvMind, meaning a flexible and secure virtual port, by combining our developed software and solutions with industrial solutions. As local manufacturers in this regard for the past 3 years, as evaluated by the results of the Bilişim 500 research, announced recently and evaluated with 2021 figures, we have been ranked first for the 4th time this year.
“The most precious jewel you can think of equals data”
vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. General Manager Volkan Duman, who emphasized the importance of data, stated: "Data equals money, value, and time. The value of data in a system can sometimes be measured with a jewel or something even more valuable. Just as you don't have many options to protect your valuable assets, there are also limited methods or options to store your data. For example, you can keep them at home, reinforce your home, but you can never be a bank. Our data, which is becoming increasingly important to us every day, has become too valuable to be safe when stored at home. From another perspective, if you cannot access your systems or data, if you cannot issue invoices, if you cannot pass through a turnstile or door, this issue becomes critical. With all this in mind, it becomes clear that our data and applications must always be in a secure and constantly operational environment. You need to monitor them 24/7, update them, take backups, and transfer these backups to other third-party locations according to standards, test and check them, develop security policies... In other words, there are dozens of things you need to do to keep your data secure. vMind does exactly that. It helps all organizations waiting for these services to happen or unaware that they need these structures to do what they actually need to do. Although it seems possible for a company to bear the high cost of all these, it doesn't seem very likely for a company whose main business is not IT management to achieve perfect efficiency in their own system rooms and with their own resources.
vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. , one of Turkey's leading companies in data security, which holds almost paramount importance globally, is preparing to expand into Europe. Volkan Duman, the General Manager of vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. , stated that they aim to become a trusted port in Europe.

We also aim to provide a fast and easy platform to all businesses that use other cloud solutions or want to move their IT infrastructures to the cloud
"Internet highways pass through the inside of our homes and offices."
Volkan Duman emphasizes the increasing importance of data security following the development of internet technologies: "As you know, the internet is not the same as it used to be. With gigabits, high quotas, and high access alternatives, it has become widespread in a way that everyone will be familiar with technical jargon. Now, even our mothers can communicate using jargon that was once known only to technical people. We all have hidden technical conversations with family members like '...isn't 20 gigabytes of internet quota enough for you?' Bits, bytes... In other words, internet highways pass through the inside of our homes. Previously, malicious internet users, hackers, who couldn't reach us through lucky roads, can now easily and quickly reach us through wide lanes. All they need to do is step on the gas to reach from us to someone else. Even if you keep your computer where your data is stored right next to you, under your pillow, it doesn't matter if your device is connected to the internet. It's not possible to talk about being safe. While it may not be easy to be completely safe, you have to implement a comprehensive guideline that includes the points listed above to stay at a minimum level of security. And that's where vMind comes in. With its developed solutions, vMind ensures compliance with the necessary requirements and quality standards, as required by international quality standards and certifications, to achieve all of these."
"The European Union market constitutes our nearest plan."
Finally, addressing vMind's future goals, Volkan Duman stated, "We already have customers using vMind's services from Europe, America, and Africa. With the investments vMind has made and the solutions developed in the Technopark, our main aim is to ensure the company's growth not only regionally but also globally. The countries of the European Union constitute the first phase of our strategic plan. It is of critical importance for our country that the portvMind brand, owned by vMind, provides services within the EU. There is a large and lucrative market there. We can easily take the services and applications matured by us and other Turkish players to that market. Having such a platform play an active role strategically in the region is very important to us. PortvMind serves as an environment provider in a way. As a bridge or a reliable port, we invite application developers and potential strategic partners, including B2B and B2C companies conducting business online, to partner with us. So far, we have built a strong ecosystem. In fact, they have all become both our customers and our partners. Therefore, by taking their applications to Europe, we are actually facilitating a kind of value-added transfer. Having PortvMind be a reliable port around the world means that our information technology ecosystem, in which many of our partners are involved, can quickly reach a large geography together."
