Customer Profile
Finalsite’s marketing and communications platform and consulting services transform how universities and schools engage with community members, recruit students and staff, and fundraise, while managing the complex requirements around data privacy, accessibility, hosting, and security. The company sought to migrate from its on-premises hardware to prepare for customer growth, placing a priority on cost-effectiveness, scalability, and the ability to maintain a reliable international presence
By using GCP, Finalsite has benefitted from cost savings on multiple fronts. In addition to lower hardware operating costs, streamlined GCP administration reduces the time IT staff spends on basic upkeep, allowing the team to focus on longer-term development and platform innovation. The international reach of GCP also gives Finalsite a platform for worldwide growth and helps the company maintain compliance for regional regulations such as GDPR.
