FAQ

About working with us

What does MTE Grup do?

We design, supply, install and manage business IT infrastructure: network security and firewalls, servers and virtualisation, networking and Wi-Fi, security cameras, hardware and licences, and ongoing technical support.

Where are you based, and where do you work?

Our office is in the İvedik OSB district of Ankara, Türkiye. On-site engineering is centred on Ankara; remote support and project delivery cover the whole country. Hardware ships nationwide.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Our sales and engineering staff work in both Turkish and English, and we regularly support international companies with operations in Türkiye.

Can you be our whole IT department?

Yes — that is what a managed IT agreement is. We handle the infrastructure, the support desk, procurement and vendor relationships, and you keep one point of contact instead of five suppliers.

How do you charge?

Projects are quoted as fixed price against a written scope. Ongoing support is a fixed monthly fee based on the number of users and servers. One-off support is charged by time.

How quickly can you respond to a fault?

Most issues are handled remotely and immediately. For clients under a support agreement, on-site attendance within Ankara is same-day.

Do you provide 24/7 support?

Round-the-clock reachability for critical situations is included in support agreements. Outside an agreement, we respond during office hours.

Which firewall brand do you recommend?

Fortinet is our deepest specialisation and what we deploy most, but the recommendation follows the requirement. We will tell you when your existing appliance is adequate and does not need replacing.

FAQ

Technical questions

How do you decide which firewall model we need?

By measuring actual throughput, session counts and peak load — with SSL inspection assumed on, because that is where undersized appliances fail. We do not size from the datasheet headline figure.

Can you take over systems installed by another company?

Yes, and it is common. We audit what is there, document it, report what needs correcting, and take it from there. We will be honest about what is fine as it stands.

Do we own our configurations and passwords?

Yes, always. Configurations, credentials and documentation are handed over to you. This should be a condition you place on any IT supplier.

Is Microsoft 365 backed up automatically?

No. Microsoft protects the service; your data within it is your responsibility. A separate backup product is needed. This is the most common gap we find in otherwise well-run environments.

How long should camera footage be kept?

That is a decision you must make deliberately and be able to justify. Thirty days is common for general premises monitoring. Under KVKK, indefinite retention with no stated reason is a problem.

Do you handle warranty and RMA?

Yes, for hardware we supply. You deal with us, not with the manufacturer's support queue.

Can we start with just one project?

Of course. Most long-term clients started with a single firewall, server or camera installation and expanded afterwards.

Still have a question?
