| From a business value perspective, the network needed to support the user demand for greater productivity.

The company had to deliver a higher level of service than they had been delivering, and they had to guarantee packet delivery. In the mid-1990s, the Cisco team had deployed basic priority queuing and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), but as the network grew in size and complexity, mirroring the growth of the company, two things happened: Better QoS technologies were needed, and it became a great time to partner with the Cisco development organizations, who were developing ways to implement the best QoS capabilities across all Cisco products.

Expand Recruited to Put the Spring Back Into Application Performance | 2007-09-21 | Expand Networks |
| In a bid to improve productivity and in order to support the future growth of the company, Spring Group made the transition to web-based applications. However, this introduced a new set of challenges to its network.

After extensive testing alongside its competitor Riverbed Technology, Spring Group looked to Expand's Compass platform to provide a solution to the company's problems due to its superior acceleration and QoS capabilities.
