Case Study: ICF (global consulting & digital services provider) scales content creation and improves site search with SearchStax Solr-as-a-Service

ICF Users SearchStax and Engagency to Drive Better Search

ICF, a global consulting and digital services provider with more than 7,000 professionals, needed to upgrade its website and replace an Apache Lucene–based search with Apache Solr to better scale content creation and distribution. To achieve a robust, easy-to-manage Solr deployment that supported Sitecore, ICF and their partner Engagency chose SearchStax and its Solr-as-a-Service offering.

Engagency migrated ICF’s Sitecore site and implemented interactive, personalized search experiences designed by Slide UX, while SearchStax provided, managed, and maintained the Solr infrastructure. The SearchStax Solr-as-a-Service solution improved efficiency, functionality, and performance, enabling ICF to quickly and dynamically pull content across the site instead of manually tagging and placing items—saving “dozens of hours” in setup and ongoing maintenance and allowing the team to significantly scale up content production.
