Manila, Philippines, 25 August 2022 – Edgio, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGIO), the globally-scaled software solutions provider powering secure seamlessly integrated delivery, applications, and streaming experiences at the edge, today announced that it is working with regional IT solutions specialist TechDirect to bring its services and solutions to companies across Southeast Asia (SEA).

Clients can leverage Edgio’s capabilities to double their development speed and run sub-second sites while reaping higher productivity, better performance, better protection and safer deployments at lower costs.

“Against the backdrop of accelerating digital transformation globally, the ability for companies to deliver exceptional digital experiences, as well as build faster and safer solutions for their customers at the edge, have never been more important. Today marks a meaningful step in Edgio’s young history where we bring these capabilities to the SEA region,” said Edwin Koh, Regional Director, SEA at Edgio. “We are pleased to be working with TechDirect, and we look forward to welcoming new partners in SEA into our ecosystem to help realise our vision of supporting companies around the world in delivering the fastest, most dynamic, and frictionless user experience,” added Koh.
