Case Study: The Economist Group achieves consolidated, stable and PCI-compliant microsite infrastructure with Rackspace Technology

Rackspace Managed Services helps IT team strengthen global company infrastructure

The Economist Group, a global news publisher, needed to consolidate roughly a dozen Asia Pacific microsites that were scattered across multiple hosts and developers. With IT resources already stretched, the team sought a managed solution to improve site stability, oversight and security without adding operational burden.

They engaged Rackspace Managed Cloud Services and migrated sites to Rackspace Cloud Servers in Hong Kong, leveraging Fanatical Support to standardize platforms and meet PCI DSS requirements. The result was centralized management of 13 sites, stronger stability and compliance, improved scalability and faster project delivery—freeing the IT team to focus on customers and core priorities.
