A private, non-profit Ecuadorian liberal arts educational institution, the organization is mainly dedicated to training, educating, researching, and serving the community within the philosophy of the liberal arts, integrating all sectors of society. More than 5,500 students are today the vital axis of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, with people from all regions and nationalities of the country, along with more than 1,000 international exchange students. The USFQ annually offers more than 4,000 academic courses and more than 50 careers in the liberal arts system. ## The Situation USFQ’s previous web host had performance problems, causing the organization to seek out a new hosting provider. ## The Challenge The organization was using Drupal 9.1, and had a lot of deprecated code. To run processes, it needed to update to the latest stable version of 9.x. ## The Solution Working with partner [Esinergia](https://esinergia.co/en), the teams analyzed and defined the project scope, setting up Acquia Cloud Platform and performing the migration. Then, USFQ performed a comprehensive QA analysis of the project before release. ## The Results With Acquia Cloud Platform, USFQ was able to upgrade and migrate its sites in record time — just 2-3 weeks. The platform provided the organization with three separate environments and an updated CMS. As a result, USFQ experiences higher speeds and performance, greater security, and a more transparent process for end users. USFQ stakeholders appreciated the migration, and could tell the Acquia difference from the moment the sites were migrated. ## Additional Resources [View More Resources](/index%2Ephp/resources) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-navy-icon.png) Case Study 3 min ###### CPFL Acquia helped CPFL improve its user experience, streamlining communication between customers and suppliers. ](/index%2Ephp/resources/customer-stories/cpfl) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-blue-icon.png) Case Study 1 min ###### INSEAD When INSEAD needed a centralized platform capable of transforming its digital experience, Acquia technology delivered. ](/index%2ephp/resources/customer-stories/insead) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-teal-icon.png) Case Study 3 min ###### UMass Amherst UMass Amherst standardized its multi-college site network on Acquia Site Factory — lifting traffic to the College of Humanities and Fine Arts 115%. ](/resources/customer-stories/umass-amherst-lifts-traffic-115-acquia-site-factory) ## Learn more about Acquia solutions First Name Last Name Email Company Job Title Country Country AfghanistanÅland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua & BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAscension IslandAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBosnia & HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBritish Virgin IslandsBruneiBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCanary IslandsCape VerdeCaribbean NetherlandsCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicCeuta & MelillaChadChileChinaChristmas IslandClipperton IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongo - BrazzavilleCongo - KinshasaCook IslandsCosta RicaCôte d’IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaDenmarkDiego GarciaDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard & McDonald IslandsHondurasHong Kong SAR ChinaHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLaosLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacao SAR ChinaMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmar (Burma)NamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth KoreaNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestinian TerritoriesPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairn IslandsPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRéunionRomaniaRussiaRwandaSamoaSan MarinoSão Tomé & PríncipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia & South Sandwich IslandsSouth KoreaSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSt. BarthélemySt. HelenaSt. Kitts & NevisSt. LuciaSt. MartinSt. Pierre & MiquelonSt. Vincent & GrenadinesSudanSurinameSvalbard & Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyriaTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad & TobagoTristan da CunhaTunisiaTürkiyeTurkmenistanTurks & Caicos IslandsTuvaluU.S. Outlying IslandsU.S. Virgin IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVatican CityVenezuelaVietnamWallis & FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabwe State - Select -AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasArmed Forces (AA)Armed Forces (AE)Armed Forces (AP)CaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarshall IslandsMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMicronesiaMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPalauPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirgin IslandsVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming Marketing Opt-In Yes, I would like to receive updates and information about Acquia's products, events, webinars, and more.
