CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 7,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud company that powers and protects life
online, today announced a partnership with Scaleflex, the first
visual experience platform to join the Akamai Qualified Computing
Partner Program.
Scaleflex and Akamai work together to help provide online brands
with an end-to-end digital asset management solution that runs on
Akamai Connected Cloud, a massively distributed edge and cloud
platform that puts apps and experiences closer to users and keeps
threats farther away. The partnership is intended to help customers
turn billions of visual assets into countless user experiences.
Leveraging the capabilities of Akamai Connected Cloud, including
Akamai's cloud computing and content delivery services, Scaleflex
focuses on providing a visual experience platform that combines the
power of AI-driven digital asset management and dynamic media
optimization to deliver high-performing images and video for
customers worldwide.
"We are thrilled to partner with Akamai and offer our customers
a best-in-class solution for optimizing the management and delivery
of their digital content," said Scaleflex's CEO and co-founder,
Emil Novakov. "By leveraging
Akamai's global network, we can help businesses manage and organize
their digital assets, plus help them reach their customers with
lightning-fast speeds to ensure that they have a seamless and
enjoyable experience."
Scaleflex's AI-powered digital asset management system — listed
in the Forrester Digital Asset Management Landscape, Q4 2023 —
assists in the resolution of issues related to the upload,
organization, and optimization of products and brand assets at
scale. Marketing and technical teams can easily manipulate digital
assets, including back-office environments (such as CMS, PIM, and
commerce), thus boosting team productivity and accelerating the
content-to-market strategy of new campaigns or products catalogs.
Flexible and cost-effective, the MACH-certified technologies
(Micro-services, API first, Cloud-based, Headless) gained the trust
of leading brands in online retail, travel, real estate, and online
news.
"Akamai is pleased to make Scaleflex available to joint
customers through our Qualified Computing Partner Program," said
Matt Berk, Senior Vice President of
Sales at Akamai. "Customers can benefit from Scaleflex's
user-friendly ecosystem of solutions that run on Akamai Cloud
Computing and are tightly integrated with our delivery
services."
The Akamai Qualified Computing Partner Program is designed to
make solution-based services that are interoperable with Akamai
cloud computing services easily accessible to Akamai customers.
These services are provided by Akamai's technology partners that
complete a rigorous qualification process to ensure they are
readily available to deploy and scale across the globally
distributed Akamai Connected Cloud.
