## Overview

Commencis is an award-winning digital transformation company headquartered in Maslak, Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 2018, the company specializes in AI-powered digital product engineering for enterprises in financial services, insurance, airlines, and retail, with solutions deployed across 20+ countries and USD 66M in annual revenue.

The company was established by co-founders Fatih Isbecer and Firat Isbecer, who previously led Pozitron -- a mobile banking specialist acquired by London-based Monitise in 2014, which was itself subsequently acquired by Fiserv. With that heritage, Commencis brings deep financial services domain expertise to enterprise digital transformation. The firm has offices in Istanbul, London, and Berlin, and established finbyte in 2019 as a Berlin-based joint venture targeting fintech solutions.

With over 450 experts across design, engineering, and cloud technologies, Commencis delivers end-to-end digital products for more than 20 enterprise clients. In the insurance sector, notable work includes a digital pension fund and policy management application for MetLife and a digital platform for Mapfre. In May 2024, Commencis launched its own Turkish-specific large language model (Commencis LLM) tailored for banking and financial services use cases, with an on-premises deployment option for security-sensitive environments.
