Alignment HealthcareAlignment Healthcare Adopts Akamai for Web Performance
Alignment Healthcare, a health care organization in the United States, uses Ion from Akamai to support web performance for platform and web teams.
When edge delivery outgrew homegrown tracking, Alignment Healthcare brought in Akamai.
“In the United States, platform and web teams already knew where edge delivery went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation.”

Story
Alignment Healthcare did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed web performance to move. In the United States, platform and web teams already knew where edge delivery went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Ion from Akamai is now in that path. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. The company treats it as production tooling for web performance, which is why platform and web teams live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Alignment Healthcare can show how edge delivery is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run web performance on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
