Introduction

Mission
Based in Duluth, GA, Agility Recovery is a trusted name in the disaster recovery and business continuity industry, providing businesses with tools and services to recover from interruptions and maintain operational resilience. From data backup solutions to analytics, their offerings ensure businesses stay prepared for unexpected disruptions. 
Problem Overview
With a growing client base and a reputation for reliability, Agility Recovery understood the need to stay ahead in the digital space. However, as they expanded, their previous web platform began to show shortcomings in security, performance, and accessibility, which risked damaging their reputation and impacting customer trust. 

The Problem

Agility Recovery encountered several major challenges before the Drupal 10 upgrade, including: 

Key issues

Security vulnerabilities

Their website, operating on an older CMS version, faced security risks due to outdated infrastructure. These vulnerabilities posed a significant threat to sensitive data and customer trust. 

Performance issues

Slower page load times and inconsistent responsiveness were detracting from the user experience. These issues also negatively impacted their SEO rankings, reducing the website's visibility to potential customers. 

Lack of accessibility

The previous platform fell short in meeting modern accessibility standards, creating a barrier for users with disabilities. This restricted audience reach and undermined their brand's inclusivity efforts.

Outdated features

The website lacked cutting-edge features that could enhance interactivity and functionality, leaving it unable to meet the evolving expectations of its tech-savvy audience.
