Case Study – Medals of America

Medals of America was founded in 1976 by U.S. Army Veteran Colonel Frank Foster and his spouse Linda Foster. After a lengthy search for his father’s WWII medals, and learning that other veteran families had similar challenges, Frank decided to set up Medals of America.

Medals of America’s storefront was hosted with a leading commerce cloud. They were facing challenges around deployments and availability, as well as issues with support that were impacting their customers’ user experience.
