The SaaS Provider Option is designed to provide value in three distinct areas:

  • Faster Provisioning – Decreasing the amount of time required to spin up new customers is directly related to reducing operational costs and decreasing time-to-market. Faster provisioning is designed to help SaaS providers achieve these goals. Accomplished through a new set of open APIs, the SaaS Provider Option is intended to help rapidly and easily onboard new customers as well as leverage SSL in a highly scalable manner.
  • Granular Reporting – The ability for SaaS providers to troubleshoot any potential performance or reliability issues, and provide customer‑specific value confirmation to their customers is important to achieve overall customer satisfaction. SaaS providers can now gain the necessary deep reporting visibility and insight into each of their SaaS customers’ experience to make this a reality. Reports are updated automatically as new customers are provisioned, offering SaaS providers an always up-to-date picture of their business.
  • User-based Billing – SaaS providers can now take advantage of a first-of-its-kind user-based billing model for Akamai services. The user-based billing model is an optional unit of measure, which enables SaaS providers to align their consumption of Akamai’s Web Performance Solutions with their user-based business model.
