SaaS Acceleration
Enhance user experience, improve SaaS application performance and reduce SaaS operating costs.
Negative cloud trade-offs
Migrating applications to the cloud gives I&O teams better control and flexibility to deliver collaborative SaaS solutions like Microsoft O365, Box, Salesforce, and ServiceNow.
But what most don’t realize is that, in transitioning from an on-premises application to a cloud-hosted solution, the trade-offs are often degraded performance levels and an unsatisfactory user experience.
Multiple factors influencing performance
Bandwidth and latency are the two most important measures of network performance.
But for SaaS applications, certain times of day, Wi-Fi connections, end user locations, devices, files sizes and unpredictable Internet traffic spikes all influence performance too.
Separate optimization strategy
SaaS applications therefore need their own optimization strategy, similar to any other critical applications, but one that’s designed with these extra performance factors in mind.
But when you’re pushed for time and have limited resources, introducing new technology such as SaaS Acceleration can be a challenge.
Take a different approach to SaaS Acceleration
Forward-thinking Infrastructure & Operations leaders have found a better way to enhance user experience and reduce SaaS operating costs by minimizing bandwidth usage, errors, and network overhead.

Customer Examples
Commercial Real Estate Firm
When one commercial real estate customer migrated to Microsoft O365 for email & SharePoint services, they quickly discovered severe performance issues. It was taking approximately 5-10 minutes to download a large email file or open a document in SharePoint.
With WFA: Optimized from Teneo, results showed dramatic performance improvement. This included a time saving of 73% and a bandwidth reduction of 62% for O365 users.
Global Professional Services Firm
When this Global Professional Services Firm moved to remote working during the pandemic, they wanted the same, office-like performance for their remote employees.
However, they soon realized that good performance wasn’t possible, especially when using SaaS applications such as Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and O365. Internal servers were extremely slow.
But within the first few months of implementation of WFA: Optimized, the firm already noted a 63% reduction rate on SaaS traffic. They also saw an increased rate of 22.6x optimized bandwidth.
