In the rapidly changing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) landscape, internet performance can make or break the experience. Low latency is essential to SaaS companies delivering a seamless experience, facilitating real-time interactions, smooth data transfers, and maximum functionality of cloud applications. High latency can lead to delayed, reduced efficiency, frustrated customers and ultimately hurt business operations.
