MOS Academy wins “Partner of the Year” at the ITAM Excellence Awards 2025

Recognized by the industry’s trusted voice

The ITAM Forum is an established leading not-for-profit organization for the global ITAM community. Independent and end-user-led, it exists to promote the business value of IT Asset Management and to push the discipline forward. The award confirms what customers and peers already know: MOS Academy is redefining what excellence in ITAM looks like.

What makes MOS Academy an award-winning partner?

As a long-standing strategic partner of USU, MOS Academy has played a pioneering role in shaping the ITAM landscape in  Türkiye and beyond. Their work goes far beyond project delivery. It’s about building capability, creating community, and delivering measurable outcomes.

Here’s what stood out to the jury – and to us:

1. Proven customer success: Together with USU, MOS Academy supported Türk Telekom in achieving $16 million in license savings over five years and launched Türkiye’s first ISO/IEC 19770-1 certification initiative.
2. Audit readiness at scale: By implementing USU License Management and Raynet tooling, they helped major banks like Akbank and Garanti BBVA ensure IBM sub-capacity compliance – without relying on ILMT.
3. Innovation meets execution: Their ITAM programs integrate FinOps metrics, AI-based license optimization, and sustainability by design – not just as buzzwords, but as operational reality.
4. Community leadership: As initiators of SAM Türkiye and ITAM Review Turkey, MOS Academy has created lasting structures for ITAM collaboration, awareness, and skills development across the Turkish market.
   
   

And perhaps most importantly: they stay engaged long after go-live. Their commitment to long-term value and strategic alignment is what makes them a true partner – not just a service provider.
