John Hancock Funds and Unisys among key enterprises to leverage the Forum solution for corporate streaming

STREAMING MEDIA WEST - Long Beach, CA, June 20, 2001 - Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM), the leading provider of distributed application and content delivery services, today announced a series of significant enterprise customers who have selected Akamai for their interactive webcasting needs. Among the companies that take advantage of the Akamai enterprise streaming system, Akamai Forum, are Charles Schwab, John Hancock Funds, and Unisys Corporation.

Akamai has seen growing demand for its Forum solution as companies adopt the Internet to broadly communicate corporate information to multiple audiences. Enterprises are choosing the Akamai Forum solution to reach geographically dispersed audiences efficiently and cost effectively and gain valuable marketing data through audience registration and interactivity, while leveraging Akamai's globally distributed platform for high-performance, scalable and reliable delivery of their interactive corporate communications.

"Streaming media greatly enhances a corporation's ability to reach and interact with unlimited numbers of customers, prospects, and their own employees in a timely, cost-effective manner," said Mike Quinn, general manager of enterprise CDN services, Akamai. "Businesses are realizing that webcasting, given its easy Internet access, audience data and archiving capabilities, provides a true return on investment. As a result, we're seeing increased need for our Forum service by large enterprises in the financial services and high technology industries for corporate communications delivery on a global scale."

Unisys, a leading e-business solutions company with 37,000 employees and customers in 100 countries, combines streaming video with its robust satellite network, Unisys Business Television, to reach audiences through targeted, webcast communications. Akamai Forum, with its live interactive capabilities and program archiving, is helping Unisys to strengthen its Internet presence and enhance its e-business marketing efforts. Forum's design also enables Unisys to produce webcasts internally, at significant cost savings to the company.

According to Joyce Ercolino, producer and business development manager for Unisys Business Television, "The Akamai Forum solution enables clients to run their own programs - a key consideration for Unisys in selecting a webcasting vendor. Akamai not only provided a comprehensive training program, they also have been receptive to our suggestions for program enhancements. This has helped Unisys to embrace webcasting and use the tool to our greatest advantage."

It is available directly to enterprise customers with in-house studios, or as an outsourced solution through Akamai resellers and fulfillment partners.
