vMind CEO Volkan Duman in BTHaber: Hybrid Architecture Is Shedding Its Complexity

The combination of cloud + integration + managed services creates an important foundation for AI projects when supported by the right architecture.

Through various partnerships, vMind’s role is evolving beyond that of a “cloud provider” into a structure that brings service design and operational standards to the ecosystem. One of the latest examples of this transformation is its collaboration with ASNSKY, a company developing open-source solutions. Highlighting that the strategic partnership and the model established with ASNSKY have enabled them to deliver this standard to more institutions faster and in a scalable manner, vMind

CEO Volkan Duman said:

“Our priority for 2026 is to continue our strategy of addressing the challenges brought about by this period and offering solutions to institutions facing these difficulties.”

Pointing out that such periods require careful decisions, especially where efficiency is essential, Volkan Duman stated:
“The ASNSKY ecosystem, together with vMind’s cloud infrastructure, managed services, and system integration approach, as well as PortvMind solutions, will make
it possible for more institutions to become part of this holistic model.”

Emphasizing that this approach will establish a sustainable structure based on solid infrastructure, including AI projects managed with scalable service levels and design-integration-operation continuity, Volkan Duman answered our questions:

What needs does this collaboration address?

Organizations are no longer focused on the question, “Which technology should I buy?” Instead, they are asking, “How can this investment be transformed into business outcomes?” As technology advances rapidly, companies need the right solution, the right business partner, and a sustainable digital backbone while maintaining cost advantages.
The collaboration between ASNSKY and vMind responds directly to these needs. We are transforming technology investments from isolated institutional projects into scalable and manageable service models. When vMind’s secure cloud infrastructure, integration expertise, and managed service discipline combine with the ecosystem strength of partners like ASNSKY, our goal is to help organizations make better decisions in the digital world and quickly turn those decisions into action.

How do the competencies of the two brands complement each other in this partnership?

Global hardware supply constraints, rising costs, and inventory problems show that the critical issue in this era is progressing through an end-to-end reference architecture while embedding essential practices such as security, monitoring and reporting, capacity planning, and continuity management into the design process from the very beginning.

With our expertise in cloud and managed services, we address this need through a sustainable service model. ASNSKY’s ecosystem strength in the field carries this standard into its own structure and accelerates transformation. As a result, we establish an operational model that is measurable, manageable, and truly functional.

How do the solutions offered to the market differentiate themselves from existing alternatives?

For us, differentiation is not only about “which technology we offer,” but also about how clearly we define responsibilities within the customer’s hybrid environment and how sustainably we scale the service.

Today, in many alternatives, customers struggle with the question of “who is responsible for what” within public-private-hybrid structures. This uncertainty both prolongs decision-making processes and increases operational risk.

We, on the other hand, position cloud, system integration, and managed services within the same framework, creating a single operational language and ownership model. Another distinguishing factor is that we do not limit this approach to individual projects; instead, we aim to turn it into a repeatable standard that can be replicated in the field.

Within ASNSKY’s ecosystem, presenting vMind solutions as part of the portfolio provides customers not just with a one-time installation, but with a service backbone that can expand as needs grow.

What kind of transformation potential does this collaboration have on an industry-wide scale?

Its industry-wide transformation potential can be described as the widespread adoption of a standard that makes “hybrid complexity manageable.” We see this not only on an individual customer basis, but also as a model that can scale across the ecosystem.

When ASNSKY’s own ecosystem meets vMind’s cloud, managed services, and system integration solutions, instead of repeatedly developing solutions from scratch for similar problems across different industries, organizations will be able to adapt quickly on a secure foundation. This approach could enable many initiatives, including AI projects, to move into production within more realistic timeframes.
