Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The tool is used to host 20+ sites for each directorate at OJP. The key problem the tool addresses is having a common code base, architecture, and infrastructure for all directorates. Prior to Acquia, there were several technologies used for hosting the sites which created difficulties in maintaining, staffing, and updating sites.

Pros and Cons

Consistent user interface
Uptime
Robust logging and error tracking

Provide a tier of service where Acquia provides a true PAAS rather than relying on the development team upgrade core components

Return on Investment

Good ROI since we replaced several technologies with one Acquia cloud

Scalability

With Cloudflare CDN and the caching provided by Acquia, the sites are very responsive and have scaled well as more users have engaged with the site.
