Migrating a WordPress business from self-managed hardware to the Cloud
As Founder and CEO for Sotic, a Digital Sports agency which delivers big name sports websites on WordPress, Leo has considerable experience in both working with Cloud technology and live events. In 2015 Sotic started the journey to migrating its own data centre to Cloud. Four years later Sotic is now 100% cloud based, running a number of fast and award winning WordPress sites, including for the Six Nations Rugby, England Netball, Tour of Great Britain and Irish Rugby.
This talk will look at the journey his 30-person digital agency undertook to migrate, the pitfalls along the way and how this move has unlocked a huge improvement in SEO, web performance, employee well-being and work life balance.
