As Turkey's leading alternative telecom operator, we have come together with Surado to offer solutions suitable for the requirements and budgets of SMEs wishing to make use of the power of CRM.”

“No Global Company Can Ignore Turkey If They Want to be Successful,” said Surado CEO, Sundip R. Doshi. “Turkey has a number of characteristics such as its young and dynamic workforce, increasing investment opportunities in conditions of growing competition, and the fact that it has become the world's 16th and Europe's 6th largest economy that have attracted our attention. We therefore identified Turkey in our global business strategy as one of the markets that we wanted to enter as a matter of priority. All research we conducted in keeping with this decision pointed out that there was an increasing interest in Turkey in more sophisticated software and IT applications. We also saw that the IT adoption rate among SMEs was 80 percent in Turkey. Another major factor that motivated our decision to come to Turkey was the fact that we would enter into a strategic partnership with Koç.net as one of the most important telecommunications companies in Turkey.”
