When its previous CMS became a challenge to manage, Texas A&M AgriLife moved to WordPress, and then to the managed hosting platform for WordPress from WP Engine.<\/p>\n

Now, Texas A&M AgriLife manages hundreds of websites with WP Engine multisite, which Web Production Manager Travis Ward said gives end users choice, while allowing his team to maintain control.<\/p>\n

\u201cMultisite provides a certain amount of control and gives users choice,\u201d Ward said. \u201cThe end users have a lot of options, but at the same time, they\u2019re not going to have their own install and their own plugins, which may not work as well together as the ones that we\u2019ve chosen.\u201d<\/p>\n

With WP Engine multisite, Texas A&M AgriLife saves time and money, and relieves the strain on the organization\u2019s already thin resources, Ward said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWP Engine provides an excellent value for us and the number of sites we have. It\u2019s a reliable platform that allows us to better serve our growing number of internal customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
