Case Study: İstanbul Şehir University achieves rapid, no-code tech transfer management with TeamDesk

İstanbul Şehir University - Customer Case Study

İstanbul Şehir University’s Technology Transfer Office faced a need for tight control and tracking across four interrelated branches (projects, patents, licenses and startups) but could not find an off‑the‑shelf tool that matched its daily workflows without forcing disruptive process changes. The office turned to TeamDesk to avoid refitting its routines around existing software and to gain a platform that could model their KPIs and outputs directly.

TeamDesk provided an Excel‑style, no‑code database platform that let the TTO design and connect tables to mirror their processes, enabling deployment “in days” rather than weeks of custom development. With TeamDesk’s strong support, the office eliminated many meetings with external design teams, became the direct designers of their systems, and achieved faster, bespoke tracking of projects, patents, licenses and startups thanks to a configurable solution from TeamDesk.
