Leaseweb helps with digital transformation for international media agency

Xe.works started its story back in 2016, having joined AdTech professionals to craft exceptional advertising solutions for programmatic media buying & selling. Today it operates globally with offices in Kyiv, Ukraine, and Vilnius, Lithuania — and serves customers in the U.S., Europe, Israel, and APAC. Xe.works leads the industry in building digital advertising platforms based on Real-Time Bidding (RTB) technology, thus enabling its customers to control and enhance their media spend and earnings. Xe.works offers quick integration, smart and clear algorithms for ad bidding optimizations, dedicated customer support, and stable performance.

The Challenge

Digital advertising is a fast-paced and high-needs industry. For Xe.works to serve its customers the most timely, impactful, and cost-efficient ad opportunities, it needed its infrastructure to be extremely reliable. Even just a few seconds in system lag could result in less-than-ideal outcomes for its customers and profit loss for its own business.

Xe.works searched for a hosting partner that would provide them with high-caliber technical reliability and support. From time to time, Xe.works needed emergency help with the campaigns they were running. They tried several different hosting companies, but many of them lacked the level of support Xe.works needed and expected.

The Solution

Xe.works began to leverage Leaseweb’s enterprise-class infrastructure in 2018. As its primary IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) provider, Leaseweb provided Xe.works with the reliability it needed and the support team it had been longing for. Xe.works utilizes Leaseweb’s Dedicated Server hosting plans to better build its core business around the world. Xe.works can customize its services and access large data center coverage, which is important as it looks to scale its business globally in the near future. Additionally, Xe.works is able to process more orders in less time with the additional resources Leaseweb’s Dedicated Servers provide. The platform allows the company to reduce downtime and improve performance significantly, giving them a leg up in its vast sea of competitors.
