Headquartered in Foster City, CA, Right90 is a privately held company that provides sales planning and profitability management solutions through the software as a service (SaaS) delivery model. As a SaaS solution provider, Right90 delivers its enterprise application to its customers’ distributed sales forces through a Web browser. To meet the requirements of its globally distributed user base, Right90 needed to ensure its software solution—based on Web 2.0 technologies, including .NET™, AJAX, and SOAP service—did not suffer from application performance or availability issues.
To support its growth objectives and encourage worldwide adoption of its solution, Right90 needed to ensure faultless performance for global customers without making a significant one-time infrastructure investment. By implementing Akamai’s Web Application Accelerator, Right90 realized an immediate 20% load reduction on its origin server. Add response time improvements in the 30% range globally, and it’s clear that partnering with Akamai has delivered serious performance improvements that are driving Right90’s new business generation efforts. Since partnering with Akamai, Right90 has continued to attract prospects with users in diverse global locations—largely owing to its guarantee of reliable and fast application delivery worldwide.
"By helping us meet our prospects’ expectations for reliable and fast application delivery, Akamai enables us to land large enterprise customers and expand our business worldwide."
