TORONTO--May 22, 2012: AlertDriving, the global leader in web-based driver risk management solutions, is pleased to announce the company's FleetDefenseSM platform now takes advantage of the Akamai Intelligent Platform to optimize performance for end users around the globe.

“The investment we have made today will allow us to deliver fully localized content to our customers around the world more efficiently than ever.”

"As our global footprint has grown to cover 90% of the world's population, we recognized that we needed to optimize the delivery of that content," said Omar Amlani, Vice President of IT Operations of AlertDriving.

Using Akamai's massively distributed platform helps to ensure that AlertDriving's web-based content is delivered to the end user from an optimal Akamai server offering the best connection. The platform's use of proprietary algorithms and applied mathematics that monitor the health of the web in real time can mitigate the impact of network congestion and outages, leading to faster delivery times and less vulnerability.

Access to training across the globe will be quicker and will allow for increased accessibility resulting in improved productivity and better results for our clients," said Rob Martin, Vice President, Sales of AlertDriving.
