Case Study: Elastic achieves 500% faster development and major cost savings with Contentstack

Elastic moves from WordPress, speeds up development process by over 500%

Elastic, a provider of IT and data analysis solutions, faced a slow, crash-prone WordPress setup that required repeating publishing steps across .com and .org domains and kept them dependent on a web agency for even minor updates. With a tight three-month timeline to redesign and merge sites, Elastic chose Contentstack’s headless CMS for its ease of use, scalability, and rapid go-to-market capability.

Contentstack implemented an integrated headless CMS that was fully deployed in three months, enabling 100+ content managers to work with minimal training and eliminating the agency bottleneck. As a result, Elastic’s development process became 500% faster, development costs fell to roughly 1/5th of their WordPress costs, agency management costs dropped by 78%, onboarding time was effectively 0 hours, and monthly server costs fell from $7,000 to $890 (an ~87% reduction). Contentstack’s platform and services also allowed Elastic to complete multiple major redesigns and streamline staging-to-production workflows.
