Top 4 Takeaways from Acquia Engage

Parent Feed: 

This October, Mediacurrent was excited to participate in our 4th Acquia Engage conference in Boston. As returning sponsors we enjoyed connecting with friends, partners, customers and potential customers, all set to a backdrop of Boston Harbor. The sessions were interesting and the receptions boasted delicious local fare (hello lobster rolls!), but the real highlight was to listen in on the strategy behind Acquia’s latest product announcements.

If you were unable to attend, never fear because we have you covered with the biggest topics from this year’s event.

  1. New and Expanded ProductsThis was a big focus as Acquia is expanding to ensure they're a single source solution for enterprise needs, including Acquia Journey, Acquia DAM, and support for Node.js. As a partner, we are excited to see the product line develop and continue to iterate in the coming year.
     
  2. Journey and Transformation - The words of the week. We saw first hand how Acquia Journey integrates into Lift and, taking customer experience to the next level.  We are excited to see DAM (Digital Asset Manager) continue to iterate and eventually provide optional integrations to Journey/Lift and data warehouse. The CMS is only one part of what enterprises need to fuel their digital transformation. The website is only one small part of the ecosystem, a trend that Mediacurrent has seen become more prevalent.
     
  3. Session Highlights - A sampling of our favorite session from the weeks:

 4. Engage Awards - Approached with a customer and partner panel style this year, we were excited to be represented on the mains stage by our Director of Development, Kevin Basarab, as he discussed personalization.  It was inspiring to hear from nominees, customers, and partners elaborate on the successes they have seen by leveraging Acquia’s technologies to “transform the journey.” Although we didn’t take home the grand prize, Mediacurrent is proud to have been selected as finalists for the 2017 Acquia Engage Awards in the categories of Financial Services, Travel and Tourism, and Digital Experience.

5. Connect - Attending Acquia Engage provides lots of great connection opportunities with clients and other adapters. It is validation that we're heading down the right path of using Drupal as a baseline but ensuring connection to various other services.

If you’d like to discuss your experience or hear more about the products and topics discussed at Acquia Engage, we’d love to hear from you.  Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, or send us a message.
