Many leading companies already leverage Akamai's Dynamic Site Solutions to deliver a superior customer experience via their ecommerce retail sites. But isn't it just as important to accelerate your back-end applications to ensure that your manufacturing and design partners can quickly and reliably collaborate with employees through applications such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)?

If you're like most companies, you are delivering your PLM application to partners around the world. Unfortunately, the farther the users are from the application, the worse the performance. That's because numerous and unpredictable Internet conditions – completely out of your control – impact the user experience.

With Akamai Performance Solutions, you can accelerate the delivery and improve the responsiveness of your PLM application. How does Akamai do it? Unlike traditional hardware appliances, Akamai's Application Performance Solutions extend beyond the data center to address performance bottlenecks such as Internet congestion, service provider peering issues and communication protocol inefficiencies. In addition, Akamai is uniquely positioned to dynamically route traffic around problem spots on the Internet to address low latency and application availability. As a result, you can ensure end-to-end application performance and availability over the Internet. That means your partners are more productive and you get your product to market more quickly.
