Case Study: Amyris achieves a modern, scalable, and secure digital experience with Pantheon

Biotech Innovator Amyris Scales Digital Experience

Amyris is a synthetic biology company that develops sustainable ingredients and consumer brands. During a rapid growth phase its legacy WordPress site no longer reflected the company’s technology or marketing needs: edits were difficult, backups and security were inadequate, external developers had risky master FTP access, and the site couldn’t reliably support investors, brands, or talent recruitment.

Amyris migrated to Pantheon and adopted its Dev‑Test‑Live workflow, automated backups, role‑based credentials, and expert support. The migration was smooth, deployments are faster, media‑heavy pages load more quickly, and secure staging lets external teams work without exposing the live site—resulting in improved visitor experience, more efficient campaigns, stronger brand presentation, and increased industry recognition.
