Application Optimization
Services that make applications fast and reliable. Load balancing, content delivery, WAN and application performance, and observability tooling.
Application Optimization, run as part of one managed stack.
SpearPoint sources this category across every major supplier through the national distributor network, negotiates it, and then manages it for the life of the contract, inventoried in SHELBY, reconciled monthly, renewed on purpose. Maximum impact from the spend, minimum vendor debt.

Application Optimization bought as a service through SpearPoint is eligible spend. For a company, the rebate comes back to the IT budget; for an association, the dividend funds the mission.
