A well-rounded engineering company, Linktera is known for carrying out end-to-end consultancy and digital transformation projects, has announced the realization of a strategic business partnership with Denodo, a world leading company in data virtualization. Denodo, serving in many places around the world can now become a service provider within the Turkish market, thanks to the partnership with Linktera, a company that targets the public, banking, financial services, insurance, corporate sectors and all kinds of digital transformation initiatives in general. With this beneficial partnership, companies in a wider region, now including Turkey, will be provided with services such as consultancy, analysis, software and data virtualization.

Rather than physically grouping and storing datasets together (such as on a large working server, a large database stored in a cluster, or at a data warehouse), virtualized data is stored in a distributed manner across a number of different servers, allowing data consumers an easier access to read the data without physically moving or copying the data from where it resides thus allowing it to be accessible while keeping it secure. According to Gartner, up to 40% of organizations use non-aggregate integration styles such as data virtualization, and this number continues to grow to this day. Data virtualization also plays a critical role in many of the key architectural patterns identified by Gartner, such as logical data warehouse and logical data lake, self-service BI, logical data structure, and multi-cloud integration. However, data virtualization has become an integral part of any Data-Ops and Data Management lifecycle aimed at simplifying data management.

'Integration' is the Key Factor in Digital Transformation

Taşkın Osman Aksoy, General Manager of Linktera, which provides global standards product support, project consultancy, system integration and end-to-end project management services to companies in digital transformation processes, said about the partnership; “It has a great importance in terms of reducing operational costs and the time it takes to transform data into value.
