Case Study: Vision Critical achieves rapid migration of four sites in three months with Pantheon

Migrating Four Sites in Three Months

Vision Critical, a customer-intelligence platform founded in 2000, was hampered by a slow, manual self-hosted Drupal setup. After adding a second server to boost availability, the team still faced frequent freezes, manual cloning and DNS juggling, and escalating maintenance overhead—prompting a search for a Drupal-focused solution to improve reliability and workflow.

They piloted and then migrated four sites to Pantheon in three months, adopting a Git-based dev-test-live workflow that also supported marketing’s WordPress sites. The move eliminated infrastructure headaches, saved hours of maintenance each week, improved site stability, and made both marketing and IT more productive—freeing the team to focus on new projects like translations and an onboarding portal.
