Last year, Daikin Turkey make a decision to move its head office in Turkey and decided to use NGN expertise for moving its IT infrastructure to the new office.

Moving from a house in which you have been living for a long time is the hardest thing ever. Possible damage to any of your furniture, white goods and personal belongings that are full of memories could become our biggest fear. Also consider that all these items being moved are full of past memories, client information and the most critical data. Wouldn’t you choose to cooperate with ‘‘the best of the business’’ in this process where any possible damage couldn’t be counted with numbers?

Today, moving is a nightmare not only for consumers but also for companies as well because, for companies, moving the hardware in which data is collected for many years successfully is as important as keeping, storing and archiving that data. The reason is simple: the failures that might occur during moving process are unfortunately not only limited to the damage to the hardware. Possible loss of data and workforce can cause irreparable damage to the information of clients and security management of the company and even its reputation.

NGN’S TURNKEY PROJECT

That is exactly why it took for 6 months for Daikin, the biggest air conditioning brand in the world that decided last year to move its IT center in Turkey from Kartal to Daikin After Sale Services Building in Maltepe, to choose the company it will cooperate for this moving operation. Daikin Turkey’s IT Department Network and System Chief Gökhan Koca said that Japans do not tolerate even a small risk as a business culture and added: “We chose NGN among 6 big companies thanks to its local experience and high quality customer service. Unique planning and business management skills of NGN before and during the moving process has proven to us once again that our decision was right”.

Mr. Koca emphasized that this is not the first successful project implemented by NGN and Daikin; the two brands have been cooperating on significant projects for a long time. However, moving has significant place among those projects and “Moving this important system for Daikin to another building had big risks. As a result of extensive survey and cooperation, we prepared a plan to minimize those risks. Creating this plan took the most of our time. Moving itself was successfully completed within 24 hours”.

Gökhan Koca also added by smiling that thanks to NGN team that delivered a turnkey project, they could sip their coffee comfortably during the moving process and emphasized: “It was an important decision for us to choose NGN as a business partner. We can conclude from the success of our business that our decision was right. Our projects with NGNwill continue because we are totally satisfied with their contributions”.

SUCCESS AS A RESULT OF RIGHT PLANNING

In terms of the risks and potential threats that made this project critical… NGN Technical Support Team Leader Hasan Taşdemir summarized the most strategic part of Daikin’s moving process as follows: “There were many stakeholders that had their own dynamics and business processes”. Mr. Taşdemir continued to explain the process: “We had to manage many stakeholders from the company that manages ERP software to telephone switchboards and the supplier that manages internet infrastructure. Even a single second of wrong planning could have caused big losses. Although the servers were moved physically, they would not have operated; loss of data and workforce could have occurred. It is possible to compensate loss of hardware, but it is impossible to calculate the cost of these failures for a company."

OUR COOPERATION WITH DAIKIN WILL CONTINUE

NGN Sale Director Dilek Süer emphasizes that NGN has been implementing very successful projects in close cooperation with Daikin Turkey for a long time. Indicating that they are implementing moving projects with various companies of Turkey, Mrs. Süer added: “As NGN, we are continuously investing in new technologies and our principal purpose is to become the leader system integrator that creates added value in Turkish IT market. With our new solutions and ever-growing team, we also continue to cooperate with other companies in addition to Daikin”.

Indicating that NGN, one of the leading companies in Turkish IT sector, is continuing to offer extensive solutions and services to corporate companies, Mrs. Süer said: “Our activities range from infrastructure to application level, from cloud services to security solutions. Based on our over ten year experience, we have created hundreds of large scale projects that increase business productivity and continuity for our clients. We are proud of being the trusted business partner of our clients in terms of their critical business applications and support”.

Emphasizing that their cooperation with Daikin Turkey will also continue in the upcoming period, Mrs. Süer added: “As NGN, we initiated the investment of Star of Bosphorus, the biggest data center of Turkey, in Istanbul Tuzla. We also plan to provide service in this giant data center that will have Uptime Institute’s Tier III design and facility certificate. NGN will fill an important gap in the sector by providing the biggest companies in Turkey with end to end data center solutions and services at this data center to reduce costs and increase efficiency of clients”.
