Funda巽達o C叩sper L鱈bero (FCL) is a large Brazilian media company that was struggling to manage its self-built content management system (CMS). It took a lot of effort to develop and maintain, and their sysadmin team couldn't devote full time to it. FCL switched to WordPress but still needed dedicated management. They implemented WP Engine's managed WordPress hosting which cut average page load times in half. It provided robust support so FCL's team could focus on growing their business instead of technical issues. WP Engine freed up resources and improved performance across FCL's properties.

CASE STUDY The Company Funda巽達o C叩sper L鱈bero (FCL) is a Brazilian media corporation headquartered in S達o Paulo that owns and operates several properties, including TV Gazeta Broadcast, radio stations Gazeta AM and Gazeta FM, online publisher GazetaEsportiva.com, news agency GazetaPress, International Road Race S達o Silvestre, and the first journalism college in Latin America, Faculdade C叩sper L鱈bero. The Challenge FCL had originally developed and managed its own CMS, however the system proved too difficult to handle. It took quite the effort to write, test and QA the code. Also, management became a massive headache. At the same time, each of FCLs business units had its own digital strategy to worry about, creating more challenges. The Brazilian media giant found WordPress, and was amazed by the constant innovation and the ease of use, said David Verzolla, FCLs CIO. WordPress afforded FCL the ability to use one concept and different installs across the business, so each business division could control its own digital experience, while Verzolla and his team could manage it all from a central location. While WordPress was overall easier than the self-made CMS, it still required a good deal of work to ensure everything was running properly. We needed a full team to manage the installs and the hardware, and we just couldnt spare that, Verzolla said. The sysadmin team has several technologies to work with, and cannot be 100 percent focused on WordPress.

He said he was impressed with the technology behind WP Engine, namely EverCache, WP Engines proprietary caching solution proven to improve site speed by 4 to 6 times than on other platforms, which Verzolla called very sophisticated technology.

He estimated that FCLs pages load an average of twice as fast as they did previously.
