CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akamai (NASDAQ:AKAM) today announced Digital Convergence Technologies (DCT), a system integration and digital transformation company that simplifies complex IT challenges through its "converge and deliver" philosophy, has joined the Akamai Partner Connect Program. DCT enables mid-market and enterprise clients to leverage a specialized refactoring practice for migrating workloads to Akamai, providing a streamlined, cost-effective path to cloud modernization that was previously fragmented across multiple vendors.

DCT's key services and offerings include system and cloud engineering, architecture modernization, and large-scale refactoring of legacy environments; dedicated practices for transitioning and modernizing cloud architectures on distributed platforms; and managed services that enable scalable, high-performance, and cost-efficient cloud operations across industries.

"Our focus is on modernizing legacy architectures and simplifying complex cloud environments to deliver scalable, high-performance systems. By partnering with Akamai, we are enabling enterprises to move away from closed, black-box solutions and bring control back into their own hands — creating flexible, cost-efficient architectures that are built to scale," said Vineet Dhawan, CEO, Digital Convergence Technologies (DCT).

This collaboration is designed to support customers across the media, healthcare, and fintech verticals through digital modernization, cost optimization, and specialized managed services. It specifically addresses the needs of mid-market media clients seeking a plug-and-play streaming platform and enterprises requiring HIPAA, ISO 27001, and HITRUST accredited solutions.

"By combining Akamai's globally distributed infrastructure and developer-friendly cloud with DCT's specialized refactoring practices and managed services, we are empowering customers to modernize and transform their legacy environments into scalable, cost-efficient cloud architectures," said Dave Allen, Vice President of Geo Sales and Partner Sales at Akamai. "DCT's expertise in refactoring and architecture modernization aligns strongly with Akamai's mission to deliver high-performance, developer-friendly cloud solutions."
