Case Study: IASG achieves a faster, fully modernized managed-futures platform with cre8

IASG cuts site response time by a third with cre8

IASG, a provider of a large open database for managed futures, faced the challenge of modernizing its platform which was built on a legacy .NET API. This outdated system made it extremely difficult to improve their core screening and investor account tools. Partnering with cre8, they undertook a CMS replatforming project to move this critical data layer without disrupting their users.

cre8 built a new WordPress-native API to fully own the data model, running it in parallel with the old system to ensure accuracy before the cutover. The solution was implemented without changing any public URLs, preserving search rankings. cre8 successfully migrated the site, resulting in a significant performance boost with page load times dropping from 1.2 seconds to 0.85 seconds and fully retiring the legacy .NET dependency.
