 | | InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), with 535,000 guest rooms, is the largest hotel firm in the world, serving more than 120 million customers a year across nearly 100 countries. |
 | | The hotelier has always been an e-commerce industry leader, being the first to offer online reservations in the hotel industry, and the first to enable customers to review, cancel, or modify reservations on the companies' Web sites, regardless of how the customer originally made the reservation. |
 | | With Akamai, IHG was able to increase online sales through improvements in page download time, transaction processing speed, and overall site availability - resulting in more than $3.5 million in reservations booked online each day. |
