Ability to Deliver a Consistent User Experience Across the Globe is a Key
Challenge
TEMPE, Ariz., 2013-11-20 15:05 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in digital presence management,
today announced the results of a global survey that provides insight into the
greatest operational challenges and business impact of content delivery
performance. Based on responses from over 230 Limelight Orchestrate(TM)
('Orchestrate') Platform customers, the survey shows that sixty-two percent of
companies view high performance delivery of content as one of their highest
priorities for businesses today.
Conducted in the fall of 2013 by TechValidate, an independent research
organization, the survey explored the primary reasons for addressing web
performance challenges, the importance of web performance, and the most
significant operational challenges to delivering effective web performance.
Below are the key findings from the survey.
