About
İsmet Öztürk is an IT consultant with 20+ years of industry experience and the founder of Xen Bilişim. Throughout his career he has led IT infrastructure builds, Microsoft cloud migrations, cybersecurity architecture engagements, KVKK compliance projects and digital-transformation roadmap design for SMBs and mid-market organisations.
He works as an "independent consultant" — not tied to a single vendor's partner-level badge — orchestrating the Microsoft, Sophos, Acronis, Kaspersky, Xcitium and other partner ecosystems around each client's actual needs. Reference frameworks regularly applied include KVKK and its secondary regulations, the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001 principles.
His writing avoids abstract "AI transformation" rhetoric in favour of measurable SMB cases, licensing-architecture decisions, KVKK implementation detail and operational notes from Microsoft 365 and Azure engagements.
