Case Study: WorldNow achieves 90% infrastructure offload and resilient, high‑performing web delivery with Akamai Technologies

WorldNow - Customer Case Study

WorldNow is a SaaS provider of CMS and video-publishing platforms for local TV broadcasters, media groups, radio and newspapers. As its traffic grew from about 120 million to 420 million page views per month (and video views doubling to ~40 million/month), the company faced the challenge of scaling delivery, containing IT costs and handling traffic spikes and security threats without significantly expanding its data-center footprint.

WorldNow partnered with Akamai to offload roughly 90% of its infrastructure, evolving the relationship from a CDN supplier to a strategic advisor using a broad set of Akamai services. The move reduced IT costs and operational complexity while ensuring always-available, high-performing experiences during major events and traffic surges—helping WorldNow reliably serve a large share of U.S. households.
