KoçSistem Secures Eighth Consecutive Win as Türkiye’s Leading IT System Integrator
Leading the charge in the vibrant technology sector, KoçSistem has officially been named the top Information Technology Systems Integrator and Business Partner for the eighth consecutive year. The recognition comes from the 27th edition of the prestigious ICT 500 (Bilişim 500), widely regarded as the most comprehensive research evaluating the nation’s information and communication technology landscape.
Securing this top spot—along with a combined total of ten category wins across KoçSistem and its data-focused subsidiary KoçDigital—reinforces the company’s aggressive expansion strategy across the MENA region, particularly through its newly established hubs in Dubai and Riyadh.
“Securing this leadership for an eighth consecutive year in ICT 500 is a strong reference for our leadership position in Türkiye,” stated Mehmet Ali Akarca, General Manager of KoçSistem. “It also supports our objective of growing in international markets. We are pleased to take the technology expertise and operational capabilities we developed over many years in Türkiye to the MENA region.”
A Decade of Dominance: Ten Category Wins
KoçSistem’s remarkable performance was highlighted by eight first-place finishes, dominating the main system integrator category alongside crucial technical verticals such as consulting, cloud solutions, hosting management, cybersecurity, managed services, and data backup and storage hardware.
Simultaneously, KoçDigital made significant waves by securing two first-place awards for data warehousing and business intelligence software. Crucially, KoçDigital also took home the top honor for artificial intelligence under the esteemed “Contribution to Türkiye’s Economy” banner.
ICT 500 Maps the Tech Industry
The annual ICT 500 ranking, published by BThaber, rigorously catalogs Türkiye’s 500 largest tech enterprises by revenue, offering deep insights into operating categories. This 27th edition, assessing data from 2025, revealed that the combined revenue of the ranked companies soared by 40 percent from 2024, reaching an impressive TRY 1.6 trillion.
Fueling MENA Growth
Capitalizing on its domestic success, KoçSistem successfully launched branches in Dubai and Riyadh in 2024, strategically accelerating its MENA operations across AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data analytics. This expansion aligns perfectly with a regional blueprint unveiled at GITEX Global in Dubai, where the firm positioned the UAE as a central launching pad for fortifying relationships across the Gulf.
“With over 80 years of experience, we aim to create long-term value for the region’s digital ecosystem,” Akarca concluded.
