Many websites. One platform.
Each new brand, market or acquisition brings another website. Put them on one Drupal multisite and you share the code, design and governance while each site keeps its own identity.
Digital sprawl means hard to scale.
Problem statement
Your web estate grew one site at a time. Now you run different platforms, pay for the same work twice and can’t see what you own.

Acquisitions add to the pile

One codebase, many sites.
A central codebase holds your shared configuration, components, templates and security. Each website keeps its own content, users, theme and analytics.
