IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - May 30, 2012) - Vision Solutions, Inc., the world's leading provider of information availability software and services, today announced their partnership with Istanbul Pazarlama A.S., one of the oldest and most established companies in Turkey's IT sector.
The partnership comes on the heels of headlines that report Turkey is becoming the fastest growing economy in the world. From 2002 to 2010 the Turkish GDP grew from $230 billion to $736 billion. Turkish GDP grew by 8.9 percent in 2010 and its estimated growth will continue at this rate. Optimism for growth in the IT sector remains high due to youthful, well-educated and technically savvy population -- half the entire country is under the age of 29.
The burgeoning economy is due in part to international investor-friendly policies that have created an explosion of business. Newer incentives such as the R&D and Innovation Support Law offer a series of tax breaks to facilitate investment and advancement in R&D, including development of new technology and product improvements. Large corporations such as British Telecom and Vodafone have created home bases in Istanbul with plans to continue their R&D in the region.
Istanbul Pazarlama A.S. is a premier business partner of IBM. The company offers turn-key full implementation of system integration projects, and hardware and software sales, licensing, installation, system support, technical support, software development, project management and consultancy services. Istanbul Pazarlama A.S. won 2010's IBM Outstanding Total STG Solutions Business Partner award and IBM Best Performing SSD Business Partner in 2009.
The partners have announced a product presentation at the Point Hotel in Taksim, Istanbul on June 13, 2012, where they will discuss products for IBM platforms and Windows, including Double-Take Availability, and give participants a chance to see software demonstrations and ask questions. Alexander Trekin, regional director of Vision Solutions for Russia and CIS countries, will be presenting. Mr. Trekin is a certified IBM Solution Expert and has led over a hundred disaster recovery and high availability projects in 24 countries in the past ten years.
