Case Study: Scranton Gillette achieves streamlined management of 20+ branded sites and 5+ hours/week time savings with Pantheon

How Scranton Gillette Manages 20+ Branded Sites on Pantheon

Scranton Gillette Communications (SGC Horizon) is a fourth‑generation, B2B publishing company with about 15 brands across nine verticals and more than 20 websites that connect buyers and sellers. As digital grew in importance, their legacy “cloud” setup—shared resources across instances—made scaling slow and costly, created focused points of failure, and left the team with poor visibility and complex support workflows.

They tested and migrated 20 Drupal sites to Pantheon, taking advantage of easy backups and one‑click restores. The Pantheon dashboard and managed workflows cut at least 5+ hours of weekly operational effort, delivered true one‑to‑one cloud scaling, faster site spin‑ups, and responsive, hands‑on support during outages—resulting in higher reliability, better team collaboration, and more time to focus on growth.
