Building LABs

Eteration has been a world recognized software services provider in or enterprise IT for over 17 years. Since its inception in 2002 by its founder Naci Dai, the company began to explore innovative and offer open sourced tools and runtimes for the enterprise. Our first innovation Lomboz was an open-source Eclipse tool for the Enterprise Java development quickly became the de-facto tool for millions of developers. In 2004 we have joined forces with others to start the Eclipse Web Tools Platform project as a founding member. After 15 years this project is going strong with better and newer features and downloaded and used by millions today.

In 2006, Labs decided diversifying its exploration into new areas such as smart homes and IoT technologies building tools and runtimes for embedded systems; The Research and development studies are supported and financed by the European Union grant ITEA Osiris, OSAmI Commons and M2M Grids focused on creating enablers for a dynamic cyber-physical information business ecosystem connecting the physical world with the business processes of companies in real-time.

In 2010 the labs produced a plan to establish an “Cloud First” strategy to develop future technologies. These works was not intended to reproduce the already existing cloud technologies. Instead, it was to be an initiative to extend these offerings for pioneering work in advanced IoT, automotive, industry and enterprise applications. We have established research cooperation with ITU and varios industry consortiums Electric Vehicle Platform and Advanced Automotive Technologies clusters.

Open Source

At Labs, we believe that our involvement and commitment to open source is a differentiating value for our clients. With project such as Eclipse WTP and OpenCanvas, Labs play a leading role in the evolution of open source in automotive and cloud native enterprise — and how we leverage that experience to deliver world-class offerings and solutions that benefit our customers.

Research is our culture

Research and development is an integral part of Eteration’s company strategy and is the source of our competitiveness and experience. The technological distance between a service company and technology/industry company is getting close and must be addressed carefully. In the world of today’s information technologies, the typical time frame for the commercialization of a technology is between 2 to 5 years. Companies that start early in their research usually get the most out of market share within a minimum time frame.

Eteration Labs, puts its efforts in this context not just for market dominance; our great focus lies on independent platforms and semi-product platforms for technology development in Turkey. These platforms will enable companies of any range -from start-ups to large enterprises- to go further with their technology advancement. Eteration Labs, continues to work with international and local institutions and companies in several internationally-funded programs with great enthusiasm. Our utmost goal is to bring Turkey in to an elite league of countries in technology world.
