OUR HISTORY
FOUNDATION STORY
Murat Nail Erenay, as the main co-founder of PiA, is an experienced entrepreneur who has worked in various positions in national and international IT companies for many years in different geographies and has made these companies successful in terms of both profitability and size.
Based on his global experience, Murat Nail Erenay founded PIA by mobilizing many people in this direction, believing that great IT companies will emerge from developing countries in the field of technology such as Turkey and with the aim of becoming a global player.
Since 2012, the company has been active in the field of domestic and international IT services. Since the founders and the first engineers came from the Telecom service and product sector, they started their activities by providing services to Telecom companies, and in the following period, they realized services and turnkey projects for other sectors. Before investing in products, the company operated as an independent system integrator, aiming to provide solutions using the technologies that its customers invested in. In the process, it established strong business partnerships with international companies of its size. Subsequently, the company designed many products/solutions in line with the targets set in 2012 and successfully implemented many of them, providing significant added value to its customers

GROWTH & CHALLENGES
Since its founding, PiA has navigated a remarkable journey through the phases of establishment, growth, and development. Early strategic international partnerships, such as the collaboration with Tech Mahindra and the development of a CRM system for Turkey's largest telecom operator, laid the foundation for success. With a growing team and a strong corporate culture, PiA executed its first international project for Korek in Northern Iraq and later partnered with Ericsson, leading to the establishment of the Izmir Test Center and significant global project accomplishments. The company also expanded into the U.S. and Middle East, reflecting its increasing global footprint.
A major milestone in PiA’s evolution was the acquisition of Intellica in 2016, marking its entry into data consultancy and strengthening its market position. Institutional developments included professionalizing management, expanding into new geographic markets like Dubai, Riyadh, Tirana, and Islamabad, and unifying R&D under the Development Factory. This initiative ensured standardization and efficiency across product development and project execution. Looking ahead, PiA aims to become a magnet for future investments, with ambitious plans to grow its engineering team to thousands and multiply its per capita income by four in the next five years.
