A DIGITAL OPERATOR

Procurement isn ’ t the only thing that ’ s changing at Turkcell . A few years ago , the Turkish firm was better known for its mobile infrastructure , but today it has earned its stripes as a fully-fledged digital operator .
Growing its value-added services – its digital communication platform ‘ BiP ’, music platform ‘ fizy ’, TV platform ‘ TV +’, digital publishing platform
‘ Dergilik ’, search engine ‘ Yaani ’, cloud platform ‘ lifebox ’ as well as its legacy communication services – Türk says that the company no longer sees itself as a mobile operator , but as “ the only digital operator in the world today .”
“ Turkcell has transformed its role from being an infrastructure focused service provider into an experience focused digital operator ,” he adds .
“ Our digital services are giving us the opportunity to share every moment with our customers , 1,440 minutes in a day . It gives us a competitive edge over our rivals in the market right now .
