Article 9 was amended in 2024, so cross-border development or hosting arrangements should be reviewed against the current transfer mechanism rather than relying on an old contract template.<\/p>\n<p>Ask where production data, backups, support logs and analytics are stored; who can access them; whether developers use real customer data in non-production environments; and what deletion process applies when the contract ends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cybersecurity_and_supplier_risk_in_Turkey\"><\/span>Cybersecurity and supplier risk in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turkey\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/siberguvenlik.gov.tr\/haberler\/detay\/7545_kanun_yayimlandi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cybersecurity Law No. 7545<\/a> entered into force on March 19, 2025. For buyers in public-sector, critical-infrastructure or security-sensitive environments, vendor due diligence should cover more than a generic security certificate. Ask how the supplier handles vulnerability reporting, privileged access, logging, incident escalation, subcontractors, dependency risk, secure development, backups and recovery, and whether any project-specific certification or authorization requirements apply.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public-sector_procurement_in_Turkey\"><\/span>Public-sector procurement in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are buying software for a Turkish public body, check the applicable procurement route before treating a commercial proposal as procurement-ready. Turkey\u2019s Public Procurement Authority operates <a href=\"https:\/\/ekap.kik.gov.tr\/ekap\/ButunYenilikler.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EKAP, the Electronic Public Procurement Platform<\/a>, which supports electronic tender, offer, evaluation, notification and approval workflows.

The practical comparison is not the city label but the delivery model: dedicated team versus shared pool, seniority mix, English-language communication, sprint ownership, documentation standards, staff replacement terms and notice periods.<\/p>\n<p>Also verify how frequently assigned engineers change, who retains architectural knowledge, and what handover process applies if key staff leave. A low blended rate is not useful if continuity and documentation are weak.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RFP_checklist_before_you_sign\"><\/span>RFP checklist before you sign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Describe the business outcome and major integrations, not only the feature list.<\/li>\n<li>Ask each vendor to identify assumptions and exclusions in its estimate.<\/li>\n<li>Request the exact team structure and replacement process.<\/li>\n<li>Define repository ownership and access from day one.<\/li>\n<li>Specify security, privacy and data-location requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Agree acceptance criteria for each milestone.<\/li>\n<li>Define incident support, warranty and ongoing maintenance separately.<\/li>\n<li>Include handover documentation and an exit plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_line\"><\/span>Bottom line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>OBSS and Innova are sensible firms to investigate for broad enterprise engineering and integration work; Softtech is especially relevant when financial-services delivery and operational reliability matter; Codeventure may fit smaller custom web\/mobile builds; and Etiya is worth evaluating when customer platforms, telecom transformation or AI-enabled automation are central to the scope.<\/p>\n<p>The right choice depends on the actual engineers, commercial model, architecture responsibilities and contract terms offered to your project. Treat this shortlist as a starting point, then validate every proposal against the same technical and procurement checklist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compare five software development companies in Turkey by engineering fit, delivery model, security, IP ownership, support and outsourcing readiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":20083,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7460],"tags":[1510],"class_list":["post-20082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-vendor-guides","tag-software-development"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20082"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20294,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20082\/revisions\/20294"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
