Case Study: Tradebridge achieves faster cloud performance and enhanced collaboration with Riverbed SteelHead SaaS

Tradebridge Transforms Approach to Collaboration and Boosts Performance with New Cloud Platform

Tradebridge is a South African value‑added transaction switch serving over 5,000 medical practitioners and processing more than R30 billion in real‑time transactions annually. After moving 400 users to Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 on Azure, the company faced degraded performance, application latency and unacceptable downtime risks tied to local infrastructure and power instability.

Working with Datacentrix, Tradebridge deployed Riverbed SteelHead SaaS to optimize cloud application delivery. The solution eliminated latency, restored fast, reliable access to Office 365 and SharePoint, boosted collaboration and productivity (reducing travel and document versioning issues), met strict availability SLAs and was renewed after the first year.
