Case Study: simPRO achieves 20% faster application response and global expansion with Rackspace Technology

simPRO Builds Out Global Expansion with Rackspace Cloud Servers

simPRO, an Australian leader in cloud-based job management software for the services and contracting sector, faced mounting overhead and scaling headaches as it grew globally. Running its own hardware and relying on local providers left the company struggling to deliver fast, reliable web access and 24/7 support for field and office users.

simPRO migrated to Rackspace using Dedicated and Managed Cloud Servers, SSD Cloud Block Storage and Fanatical Support, while adding access points in the UK, US and Australia. The change cut database I/O wait by 40%, improved overall application response by 20%, lowered per-instance costs enabling about one‑third more web‑server capacity, and unlocked scalable global delivery.
