Case Studies: Performance for “mortal companies”

 

You’re probably familiar with the well-known performance success stories from companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Shopzilla. But how relevant are these megasites to “mortal companies” that don’t make billions of dollars per year or have teams of in-house performance engineers to do their bidding?

 

Joshua will walk us through case studies of Strangeloop customers like Petco, Travelocity and O’Reilly Media to show how mortal companies have improved performance and achieved measurable success, including:

 

·        Increased revenue by 13%

·        Increased cart size by 6%

·        Increased conversions by 9%

·        Increased organic search traffic by 10%

 

Joshua will offer practical tips for successfully evangelizing performance within your organization. He’ll also give a snapshot of the current performance landscape in North America, as well as a sense of where the industry is headed.
