5. Why companies choose Instart Logic
 Poor mobile web and application performance
 Mobile traffic has increased, but mobile conversions are down by 73%
 Average webpage is 2x bigger than a few years ago
 Application integrity and security is being compromised
 Larger and more sophisticated security vulnerabilities
 Rise of ad blockers and other plugins compromise app integrity
 Need a more flexible vendor with a platform that scales
 TCO increases with heavy reliance on PS
 Limitations on flexibility, APIs, self-service, and automation
 Better long term technology provider that is faster, more secure, and easy to
use. Enterprise grade support with control.
