Case Study: WaterAid achieves faster, more consistent global web publishing with Acquia

WaterAid consolidates 22 country sites and cuts templates by 57% with Acquia

WaterAid, an international charity, faced the challenge of managing 22 separate country websites that were inconsistent, inefficient, and costly to maintain. Their editorial teams spent excessive time on workarounds and managing multiple systems, diverting resources from their core mission. They partnered with Acquia and its supporting partner, manifesto, to consolidate their web presence onto a unified platform using Acquia Cloud Platform and Acquia Search.

The solution involved rebuilding their component library from the ground up and migrating all sites to a single Acquia Cloud Platform instance. This consolidation, powered by Acquia Search, resulted in a 57% reduction in templates, streamlined operations, and the removal of third-party tool licensing fees. Acquia's solution provided a consistent global brand, faster and more accessible pages in over 11 languages, and allowed WaterAid to redirect more time and money toward its humanitarian mission.
