“As IMM, we made this change to be made in 3 years in 3 days. We have adapted very quickly to a system where we would normally spend a lot of time with trainings and maybe get an efficiency of 30 percent. Since we have a solid infrastructure system, we provided a high level of service in terms of technology. We mobilized all our means in order to meet the increasing communication needs. 'Big data' management continues to be among our important agenda items. In 2021, we aim to implement the application of Istanbul You. Our main goal is to increase the quality of life of citizens at every point of life. "
