SPAMfighter began using Akamai's services in November 2006 in order to obtain better local presence worldwide. Being a leader in the spam filter industry, and with many users worldwide, SPAMfighter saw that it was time to expand in order to give better service to the end user. Daniel Hjorholt, CTO of SPAMfighter, stated: "We are very pleased with the results we have seen switching to Akamai. We have witnessed an increase in traffic to our site do the the decreased transfer time from backend to end user , providing key local information and support for our global customers. Akamai has truly delivered the support we need to continue our growth as a global company."
3 of Akami's services are being used by SPAMfighter. The most important one is the Edge Suite service, followed by the Content Delivery service and Geo Targeting service. In order to improve the website performance, and decrease the delays in downloads SPAMfighter realized that they needed to change CDN's. With Akamai, SPAMfighter is able to give their end users a better experience with improved website performance, and faster downloads.
In addition Hjortholt stated: "Our prior CDN supported us during our early years but as we expanded we found that their level of service delivery fluctuated, and often resulted in poor customer service at peak periods. As we looked to expand further it became apparent that they would not be able to provide the level of performance and reliability our customers needed."
Another comment comes from Alex Gibbons, Director of EMEA at Akamai, who claims that "SPAMFighter's demand for far greater reach, speed, and quality of service to their customers requires a blend of the best global distribution services and associated advanced features. The Akamai/SPAMFighter relationship is testimony to a collective commitment to deliver the best possible services to a rapidly-growing and fiercely competitive industry."
Using Akamai helped SPAMfighter increase its number of downloads and enlarge its user database with more than a million users in only four months, which previously took years.
Many organizations have formed trusted relationships with Akamai, improving their revenue and reducing costs by maximizing the performance of their online businesses. Leveraging the Akamai EdgePlatform, these organizations gain business advantage today, and have the foundation for the emerging Web solutions of tomorrow.
