Case Study: Financial Services firm achieves rapid digital agility and significant cost savings by scaling 100+ microsites with Acquia Cloud Site Factory

Acquia Helps Firm Move into New Age of Financial Services

A leading provider of retirement, insurance, and investment services needed to move beyond “brochureware” to meet customer expectations for responsive, interactive experiences across desktop, tablet, and mobile. The firm required the ability to rapidly create microsites, landing pages, forums and other channels while maintaining strict security, brand consistency, and compliance—without overloading IT or relying on long third‑party development cycles.

The company adopted Drupal with Acquia Cloud Site Factory to centrally manage sites, accelerate time to market, and ensure enterprise-grade scalability and security. The team quickly launched 100–120 microsites (planning 20–25 new sites per year), freed IT to build revenue-driving features, and expects roughly $400K in savings over five years plus a 20% reduction in future web project costs; Forrester research of similar adopters even indicates a potential ~950% ROI.
