Case Study: UNICEF.org (Switzerland & Liechtenstein) achieves 60% cost reduction, faster testing and scalable emergency deployments with Platform.sh

Pioneer in nonprofit digital transformation moves to Platform.sh, gains flexibility, drives innovation

UNICEF.org (through UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein) was running an outdated Drupal 7 site and struggled with limited, time-consuming testing workflows that slowed development, deployments, and a planned migration to modern systems. They needed a GDPR-compliant, secure hosting solution that would let their Drupal team and agency partners quickly create test environments and move to Drupal 8 and new fundraising tools.

Platform.sh provided cloud hosting and on-demand test environments that made cloning, testing, and deployments fast and simple. Using Platform.sh, UNICEF.org cut costs by 60%, gained the ability to scale quickly during emergencies, sped up same-day page launches, and improved donor and fundraising experiences while enabling Salesforce integration for future fundraising workflows.
