Case Study: George Mason University streamlines WordPress ecosystem management with Materiell

George Mason University manages 340+ WordPress sites with Materiell

George Mason University, Virginia's largest public research university, faced the challenge of managing hundreds of WordPress sites across its five campuses. Their in-house IT team was spending excessive time on maintenance, patching plugins, and addressing server alerts, which pulled them away from broader IT priorities. They engaged Materiell to take over the hosting and upkeep of their sprawling WordPress ecosystem.

Materiell migrated the university's entire WordPress ecosystem to its managed cloud infrastructure, taking over all hosting, security, monitoring, and update responsibilities. This solution allowed the IT team to reclaim their time and focus on core work. As a result of the ongoing partnership since 2018, the number of production sites under Materiell's care has grown from 250 to over 340, with the sites remaining secure, current, and reliably available.
