Case Study: George Washington University achieves 100% uptime and 90% faster site provisioning with Acquia Site Factory

George Washington University - Customer Case Study

George Washington University needed a reliable, efficient digital experience platform to support its many schools, departments, students, and staff, while moving away from a DIY hosting setup that created IT costs, data center failover issues, and limited time for innovation. The university turned to Acquia and Acquia Site Factory to help migrate its Drupal-based websites to a managed cloud environment.

Acquia implemented a multisite solution with Acquia Site Factory and Remote Administration, enabling GW to standardize builds, streamline security and updates, and provision sites faster across the university. The migration moved more than 300 sites in under seven weeks, reduced site provisioning time by 90%, and delivered 100% recorded site uptime, improving both operational efficiency and the user experience.
