Opening a Türkiye office: a connectivity brief for global IT teams

Coordinate headquarters, local teams and providers when opening a Türkiye office. Plan site details, access policies, responsibilities and acceptance.

Opening an office in Türkiye creates a coordination task as well as a connectivity purchase. Headquarters may own security standards and cloud access, while a local colleague manages the building and installation visit. A provider needs information from both. This guide helps those teams produce one workable brief without assuming that a connection delivered at the premises is already approved for corporate use. Use it to prepare the local site, involve the right decision-makers and agree how the finished service will be accepted.

Start with the people who can approve and enable the work

Name a headquarters IT owner, a local site contact and the person authorised to approve the purchase. Add the building manager or facilities contact where access depends on them. These roles may belong to different organisations. Record the language and working hours for each conversation, including the escalation contact during an agreed change window.

The Republic of Türkiye Investment and Finance Office reports 86,926 companies with international capital as of mid-2025. For a team establishing an office within this international business environment, the working brief remains specific: who can open the premises, approve the technical changes and accept the service? Confirm those people before scheduling activities that depend on their availability.

Give the provider an installable address, not just an office name

Keep the installation address in its original Turkish form alongside an English explanation. Useful fields include il, meaning province; ilçe, district; mahalle, neighbourhood; and the building and independent unit details. Distinguish the legal or invoicing address from the premises where the connection is required. Confirm the correct entrance in a complex with several buildings.

Identify access arrangements, the equipment location and any preparation still required. Ask the provider which company documents and authorised approvals apply to the proposed service; do not assume a generic incorporation checklist is also the connectivity application process. Share the intended opening date as a requirement to assess, not as an installation date already agreed.

Separate local delivery from headquarters approval

A local contact can confirm that equipment has arrived, but may not be authorised to approve firewall rules or a VPN connection to headquarters. Use a responsibility table to close that gap before the site visit. Give each acceptance item an owner who can either approve it or explain what remains unresolved.

Describe application paths before selecting a service label

Explain which applications are reached directly in the cloud and which require headquarters access. Identify any source-IP allowlists, remote administration restrictions and voice requirements. Ask how the proposed service will hand over to your equipment and whether IP information can be confirmed in time for the relevant change process.

Do not treat business internet, private site connectivity and encrypted access as interchangeable terms. MyFi Business's business internet page distinguishes internet access, IP requirements and resilience planning. Use that conversation to identify the required scope, then have your IT owner review it against company policy. Any backup path needs its own location assessment and acceptance criteria.

Agree what evidence makes the office ready

Create a short acceptance record: connection delivered, authorised user signed in, required application task completed, voice tested if purchased, and unresolved issues assigned. Note where and how each test ran. A successful browser session on a local laptop does not demonstrate that headquarters routing or corporate access controls work as intended.

Keep this record with the handover details, service contacts and agreed support scope. MyFi Business offers an English enquiry route for discussing the project. Send the address, responsibility table and application requirements first; administrative credentials and sensitive customer data are not needed in the initial brief. Availability, installation and support terms require a site-specific written proposal.

A useful international office brief joins local site facts to headquarters decisions. Assign the approval owner for every dependency, and distinguish delivery of the connection from acceptance of the business applications.
