More than 20,000 organizations rely on ExakTime for wireless time tracking and payroll solutions. However, new software releases, consisting of large 100-150MB files, to thousands of global customers, began to max out bandwidth from their South Bend, Ind.-based single location servers. ExakTime found themselves at high risk of customer churn due to slow downloads.
According to ExakTime’s Director of Software Development, Eric Renken, “We started doing our research and found some CDNs — most of which were outrageously priced. We needed performance, global coverage and speed…Doing it ourselves wasn’t economical.”
