A
kamai Technologies Inc., (NASDAQ: AKAM), the intelligent edge platform for securing and delivering digital experiences, announces it has closed an asset purchase transaction with Palo Alto, California-based Instart to acquire customer contracts and intellectual property (IP).
Akamai intends to expeditiously transition the acquired customers to Akamai's platform. The acquired IP is expected to benefit the development of Akamai's page integrity solution.
Akamai identified a unique opportunity to acquire high value customers and migrate them to our platform with minimal cost to us and disruption to the customer, said Rick McConnell, president of Akamai and general manager of its web division. Along with gaining customers, we are able to augment our efforts in page integrity, an area of immediate security concern for our customers.
New customers are expected to be rapidly migrated to the Akamai Intelligent Edge platform. The acquisition is immaterial to the company's financial results and is not anticipated to negatively affect the company's operating margin target.
