Case Study: EBSCO Industries eases maintenance, security, and downtime challenges with WP Engine

EBSCO frees up 3 DevOps staff and cuts troubleshooting from hours to 30 minutes with WP Engine

EBSCO Industries, a global company with over 40 businesses, faced significant challenges with its in-house WordPress hosting. Their internal solution, managed by a separate DevOps team, led to problems with maintenance, security vulnerabilities, and frequent downtime that impacted revenue-generating sites. The lack of developer access caused slow workflows and lengthy troubleshooting processes, prompting them to seek a managed solution from WP Engine.

By migrating to the WP Engine Digital Experience Platform, EBSCO's development team gained immediate access and support, eliminating their dependency on internal DevOps. WP Engine managed security, core updates, and infrastructure, which drastically reduced downtime and resolved their vulnerability issues. The results were substantial time savings, with troubleshooting reduced from hours to minutes, and the reallocation of three DevOps staff to other projects. WP Engine provided a secure, reliable hosting environment that freed EBSCO's team to focus on development.
