Since 2002, Bullhorn has realized revenue growth of nearly 1600%, making it the fastestgrowing staffing and recruiting software company in the industry. Because Bullhorn serves a very sales-driven industry and a high volume of fast-paced transactions on a daily basis, application performance is paramount to success.

Bullhorn implemented the Akamai Web Application Accelerator solution and immediately saw results – a 95% reduction in performance- related help-desk inquiries. "If you ask our customers the primary factor that impacts their opinion of us, they'll tell you it's the speed of our service. With Akamai in place, our customers are happy because they can quickly access our application and transact business. Akamai's managed service was the only option that made sense. Not only does it solve our performance issues, but it allows us to focus on improving our service instead of on how we're going to deploy it," says Papas.
