Asite are now using Akamai’s Web Application Accelerator solution to enhance the user experience for its customers wherever they are in the world.

Asite has users and clients all over the world and to ensure that we are continually delivering a reliable and superior user experience to and between all of our users wherever they may be working; we made the decision to use Akamai to ensure that our users benefit from the best possible experience.

For example, if an Asite user from Rio De Janeiro is retrieving a document that has been uploaded into the workspace by another user based in New York, they will be able to download (and upload) the documents at a much faster rate, giving them speedier access to all the information they need.

What does Akamai’s Web Application Accelerator do?

It ensures that the optimal route across the internet (fastest, most reliable and least congested route) to the application is utilised, therefore reducing the potential of connectivity problems.

Improvements to the service include:

• Faster uploads and downloads to and from the Asite platform
• Confidence that you are always using the most optimal connection to the Asite platform
• Enhanced website responsiveness, so pages load faster and processes are completed faster

The real benefits to Asite users are:

• Saving more time
• Increasing productivity 
• An overall improved user experience
• Greater connectivity to other Asite users wherever they are in the world 
• An additional value-add at no extra charge!
