1What is Nuru-Tech's approach to business?
  • Nuru-Tech is a match-maker between vendor and customer, not a reseller.
  • Nuru-Tech promotes several products from several vendors, so the spectrum of products and the likelihood of a match is relatively high.
  • We help in communication and mediation between the prospect customer and vendor, in order to come to an mutual understanding in an efficient and transparent way.
  • Most of the products are corporate-grade: license prices are to be negotiated directly between the vendor and the customer.
  • No charge: prospect customer have no involvement in any cost for any Nuru-Tech service related to the promotion of the product.
  • Nuru-Tech will charge a light referral fee to the Vendor upon successful sales.
2What is the added value of Nuru-Tech and its offerings?
Nuru-Tech helps you meet vendors and products you are unlikely to meet otherwise.

Here below a summary of how and where value can be tangible to you:
  • The best of 2 worlds: smart alliance between Turkish flexibility & European quality.
    • Well engineered, innovative and well managed products - often equal if not superior to competitor.
    • High commitment to customer satisfaction.
    • Higher flexibility, higher availability, more elasticity & readiness to support informally.
    • Result-oriented: fast adaptation to new requirements, and quick integration of enhancements.
  • Very competitive pricing, by international standards, thereby adding value to customer.
    • Most likely their quality/price ratio (= value) is significantly higher than their competitors.
    • Many are unique (no competitor), thereby have a unique value proposition on their own.
  • Proven success stories in major corporations.
  • Mature products, typically with little or no need for post-sales professional service support.
  • No risk, and nothing to loose: “Try & Buy” supported where possible.
3What are the selection criteria for products?
  • The products are already successful and have serious references, i.e. sold to corporations that have tangible IT activities and staff.
  • They have a clear business case and/or address clear business use cases/pain points.
  • They score high in terms of innovative idea/quality/technologies used.
  • They typically require minimal effort for a PoC or trial.
  • Some vendors may offer niche consultancy services, next to products.
4What are the selection criteria for vendors?
  • Vendors selected by big corporations have already been vetted on their resourcefulness, stability and tactical fit.
  • Nevertheless, Nuru-Tech is meeting with all of them in person, several times, as the products are being checked and information. English is language of choice by default.
  • In case of problematic communication and/or weak interest in the program and partnership, the cooperation is discontinued.
5What are the success stories and references of the products?
  • Each product has its own story.
  • Success stories can be many, or few, depending on whether the product is new on the market, or very niche.
  • Nuru-Tech encourages prospect customers to ask the vendor details about their product implementations and success stories.
6How does the online catalogue work?
  • You can find your products from 2 methods:
    • (1) Position your self on the right industry under Product Catalogue… then jump to the domain of your interest, select the sub-domain tab, and see the products.
    • (2) Start with the Product Site Map, locate the area of interest to you: if there is tick mark, then it means there is at least on product. Click on it and see the products.
  • Each product has only a few words to help understanding on very high-level: drilling down will give more info.
  • If interest is confirmed, please leave your contact details for further info and material.
  • Nuru-Tech will informally support further inquiries and put you in direct contact with the vendor...
7What happens after I leave my contact details?
  • An email will be sent to you with a detailed overview of the product, in Nuru-Tech standard format (brochure).
  • Next steps are up to the convenience of the Customer… I can help with a call, or else help with next steps.
8Which information is available online, and which will be sent by mail?
Information available online:
  • Type.
  • Short description.
  • Competitor products.
  • Business use cases & pain points addressed.
  • Key features & differentiators.
  • Information about Service mgmt. & support.
  • References.

Additional information will be included in more feedback provided to you (upon leaving your contact details):
  • Vendor name.
  • Product name.
  • Link to product/vendor.
  • Detailed description.
  • Details on infrastructure/installation.
  • Pricing scheme info (OPEX/CAPEX models).
  • Comments/recommendations about to PoC or launch.
  • Testimonials & links to videos (if any).
  • References (incl. date), national/international.
  • Short description of vendor (optional).
9Will I be able to contact and negotiate with vendors directly?
  • Yes. Even more so: this is the desired process.
  • Nuru-Tech is a match-maker between vendor and customer, not a reseller.
  • Upon leaving contact information, and getting in contact with Nuru-Tech, we will see how best to establish and maintain contact with the vendor.
  • We help in communication and mediation between the prospect customer and vendor, in order to come to an mutual understanding in an efficient and transparent way.
  • Most of the products are corporate-grade: license prices are to be negotiated directly between the vendor and the customer.
10How can Nuru-Tech ensure it will get its referral fee?
  • Nuru-Tech has established a personal relationship with the vendors, and also framed its cooperation in a formal cooperation agreement, committing both parties to transparency.
  • By local standards, trust and the value of a handshake is a matter that is not easily betrayed.
    Even so, walking around the agreement is unlikely to go undetected for long (as the German adage has it: ""Lügen haben kurze Beine"")...
  • One immediate effect would be to remove the product from the catalogue.
11Will the catalogue be enriched with new products?
  • Yes.
  • The catalogue lives from the strength of its products, and the value it has in constantly offering new solutions.
  • There shall be at least one new product every month.
  • … Follow us on LinkedIN, Twitter or Instagram to check on the news…!
12Why promoting Turkish or other regional products?
  • Nuru-Tech promotes products from MEA region, though by far the majority of the vendors will indeed be Turkish.
  • The Turkish marketplace is very competitive, not least because of its age pyramid and economy. Business and consumers are very price conscious.
  • At the same time, the market and regulations are as sophisticated as in Europe.
  • Moreover, Customer service standards are higher than in Europe, and far more efforts are being made to reach & keep a deal, as well as achieve satisfaction.
  • All put together: these products are good, well engineered and innovative. Most likely their quality/price ratio (= value) is significantly higher than their competitors.
  • Vendors and customers miss at least an opportunity when not getting to know each other!
13Why wouldn't customers go to vendors directly?
  • If Nuru-tech wasn't there, customers would first have to find that vendor. This is of course not impossible, but tedious… (search sufficiently long in the internet).
  • The next question is then: how comfortable are customers in establishing contact…(and vice-versa)? How about language, timing, scope, support, pricing info?
    ... European businesses may not be buying products from Turkish companies as promptly as they buy from other EU countries.
  • Nuru-Tech will help both sides to build up trust and mutual understanding, and will help transactions and communication to be more efficient.
14Nuru-Tech catalogue addresses which industry and which domain?
  • Nuru-Tech has products for all industries, and across all domains.
  • Some products are IT-centric, some others are for Business use.
  • You can find your products from 2 methods:
    • (1) Position your self on the right industry under Product Catalogue… then jump to the domain of your interest, select the sub-domain tab, and see the products.
    • (2) Start with the Product Site Map, locate the area of interest to you: if there is tick mark, then it means there is at least on product. Click on it and see the products.
15Does Nuru-Tech help only with products, or also other services?
  • Nuru-Tech is in principle dedicated to the success of the products in its catalogue.
  • However, due thanks to its large network, customers can also post their sourcing needs, and candidates are welcome to post their profiles. At times of high demand for technical resources, it is good to be able to knock on another door!
  • Moreover, though not directly related to the catalogue in www.nuru-tech.com, Nuru-Tech offers consultancy services on its own and/or through its network.
    ... Primarily in the following areas:
    • Project/Program management & PMO, on behalf of customers and/or on behalf of vendor.
    • Mediation/Sourcing of projects, with deep reaching network of capable partners in Turkey (incl. outsourcing, if required)
    • Implementation of IT management processes & standards (ITIL, COBIT, SOX, IT Security, etc.).
    • Maturity assessments in BI, IT & PMO, IT governance, IT compliance.
    • Audit consultancy (including remediation of findings), e.g. IT service management, supplier/provider steering.
    • Enterprise Architecture (EA).
    • Business Intelligence (“Classic” DW, Advanced Analytics, Big Data-based technologies, AI/ML).
16Which professional services are from Nuru-Tech, and which from vendor?
  • Nuru-Tech doesn’t offer professional services about any of the products that are advertised in the catalogue - unless explicitly required/arranged otherwise.
  • Product-related professional services and integration are a matter of agreement with the vendor itself, i.e. part of the procurement deal.
  • Nuru-Tech can help with ensuring that the services deliver what they are expected. That is part of the support provided by Nuru-Tech in ensuring a successful deal.
