Case Study: MUFG achieves faster, lower-cost content publishing with Distinction and Umbraco Cloud

MUFG cuts CMS costs by 65% with Distinction

MUFG, one of the world's largest financial institutions, faced challenges with a legacy CMS that was costly, inflexible, and created publishing delays for its research division. The heavily customized platform, managed by a third-party vendor, also raised data governance concerns for the regulated bank. MUFG engaged vendor Distinction to replace the system with a modern, cloud-native CMS that would grant editorial independence and meet strict compliance controls.

Distinction implemented a solution using Umbraco Cloud, which provided a secure, open-source architecture. The migration resulted in a more than 65% reduction in annual CMS costs, cut content publishing time by two-thirds, and provided full governance compliance. The project was delivered with zero downtime and allowed the editorial team to independently launch new content sections, significantly improving operational efficiency.
