When your Clients have a lot riding on their WordPress site, Carbon60 is the Choice July 15, 2015 Built for scale, highly secure, more affordable Are you building the next large media website? Does your client project require advance performance and security? Are you launching a WordPress site that needs to deliver under extreme loads and cannot go down? If this sounds like your next WordPress project (or you are an enterprise yourself that has these needs), Carbon60’s Enterprise WordPress-as-a-Service should be on your evaluation list. What is an “enterprise-class” WordPress-as-a-Service solution? It’s the type of service used by some of the largest, most security sensitive and downtime intolerant WordPress sites in the world (Forbes, Yahoo, Mashable, and Download.com all use WordPress). In stark contrast to the “SMB WordPress Hosting” solutions on the market, an Enterprise WordPress-as-a-Service solution provides an advanced Service Level Agreement (SLA) that guarantees site performance which is backed by scalable cloud hosting and deep WordPress support experts. Right now, WordPress development and design firms face challenges in finding Enterprise WordPress partners who can match their demands at an affordable price. This often highly customized “enterprise project” is the niche Carbon60 has been serving for over 10 years. It’s where we can help you help your clients scale continuously and reliably with a fully managed WordPress cloud hosting environment and end-to-end support. WordPress as a Service Lightens Your Workload Moving your web services to the Carbon60 Enterprise WordPress-as-a-Service platform lets you deliver a more effective and efficient service to your clients. With the added cost savings of Carbon60’s solution you’re able to offer significant value to your clients without sacrificing these service levels. Over the next 8 weeks, we’d like to keep you posted on five areas we feel are important, and what every WordPress designer should know about Carbon60. Here are some key features of Carbon60’s Enterprise WordPress-as-a-Service Solution: Launch Support After investing all that time in creating the perfect WordPress solution for your client, it’s important to get the launch perfect. From setting up hosted Development, Staging, and Production environments of your site, to performing performance and security tests, Carbon60’s Launch Support provides peace of mind during this critical period. Every Plan Includes a Technical Account Manager (TAM) To provide the best partner support, we’ve added a dedicated TAM to every Enterprise WordPress solution. Your TAM is not only an expert single point of contact (in both WordPress and your solution), but they also ensure smooth operations between you, our team, and your customer. Agile Change Management We all know enterprise customers require strict change management protocols, but that shouldn’t slow down development progress (60% of corporate IT infrastructure managers admitted that their processes to handle change are not effective within their production environment). At Carbon60, we help ensure your ongoing development is fast and agile without risking production downtime. Separate environments integrated to external source controls and an automated DevOps go-live process means you can meet strict ITSM requirements at the speed of innovation. No Limit Escalations We get it. Delivering top-notch WordPress support isn’t easy or cheap, but limiting support to chargeable incidents and escalation levels isn’t the answer. In fact, at Carbon60 we’re able to provide no-limit, 4-hour response time support for any issue thanks to the quality controls built into the platform. Your team can rest easy that if something does go wrong, we’ve got your back. Security Fit for a Bank With major corporations being victims of data and denial of service attacks (DDOS are up 244% over last year), many enterprise customers now have security as a top concern for projects. Carbon60 caters to organizations that require strict security and privacy controls. Can Carbon60 be your Enterprise WordPress partner?
