Did you know that even a .1s increase in site speed can lead to customers spending almost 10% more?

That’s what’s at stake when it comes to selecting a trustworthy and smooth enterprise solution system for your organization. Every potential customer that bounces from your site due to poor performance from a platform provider, means your goals become that much harder to reach.

The content platform you choose can have long-term impacts on your revenue, budgets, security, development, and scalability—and not all are built the same—so think carefully about how each partner will impact the total cost of your platform ownership.

When it comes to our partners at WordPress VIP, we know we can confidently recommend them to clients whose large enterprises call for a powerhouse partner. (It’s just a cherry on top that we get to tell them that using WordPress VIP can realize a 415% return on their investment.)

Now, let’s dig into whether this enterprise solution meets your needs, and what makes it different from so many other available platforms.

 

How is WordPress VIP different from WordPress?

WordPress VIP is aimed at large enterprises whose needs surpass a typical mid-market solution. With a large operation, businesses require more robust, flexible tooling and a reliable high-traffic platform. Basically, “VIP” is the key acronym.

 

What makes WordPress VIP different from other platforms?

A Fortune-500 company needs a Fortune-500-level platform. 

That means a CMS that offers so much more than content management. Features like budget predictability, access to customer success teams, increased security with better performance, and enterprise-level flexibility for new tooling. Let’s dig into some of these key features and what they provide:

More traffic budget predictability

With WordPress VIP, if you experience a spike in traffic, you pay for that specific hosting cost—and nothing more.

Instead of paying extra for an ‘upgraded tier,’ hidden overage charges, or other gimmicks, you pay for the increased user visits. This allows for a much more calculable cost in those moments of high traffic loads. In fact, Large-scale businesses choose WordPress VIP mainly because of its budget reliability in the face of these traffic spikes.

Improved customer satisfaction

As part of the Automattic family (whose CEO is the co-founder of WordPress) the WordPress VIP experts know how to optimize WordPress for enterprise functionality.

Their customer success philosophy is to be proactive, not reactive. Their architectural consultants help customers assemble the best enterprise solutions, experts, and global agencies from a large open-source community to build a technology stack that actually solves their digital experience needs.

They also offer WordPress VIP customers dedicated teams of experts to help meet business objectives and bring a product roadmap to life. Essentially, you get a specialized squad to help achieve your unique goals.

Trusted security and performance

WordPress VIP brings a thoroughness to their security, beyond what you might see with other high-scale providers. For example, they run parts of our production file system in read-only mode, protecting applications against attacks that install backdoor shells and other malicious files that allow bad actors to access your production data.

This is just one of their many security features—none of which are locked behind upgraded paywalls at an additional cost. Other security differentiators include support for 2FA (two-factor authentication), SSO (single sign-on), and DDoS (distributed denial of service) protection.

Digital transformations and flexibility

As a large enterprise, one of the most essential features in any CMS is the ability to grow. And given the world’s constant state of change, agility has become more important than ever for businesses looking to scale for wider audiences.

If you’re switching from one platform to another, the opportunity cost involved in that platform’s ability to scale should be a part of your consideration. Since content directly impacts business growth, it’s important to assess your ability to implement your preferred integrations. 

WordPress VIP’s relationships with best-in-breed partners like Salesforce, OneTrust, and Cognizant are a significant advantage. They allow customers to select the best technologies from inside (and outside) the enterprise WordPress ecosystem so they can solve their specific customer experience needs—today, tomorrow, and as they grow into the future.
