How to Gain Market Intelligence Through CommunitiesAcquia
User-generated content can make or break your B2B or B2C business. In fact, Forrester’s most recent “Social Depth Platforms” Wave™ reported that “user-generated content favorably influences buying behavior...business-to-business companies are increasingly investigating how to use ratings and reviews to influence purchases.”
Despite these findings, many organizations continue to allow 3rd party vendors to control user-generated ratings and reviews, rather than creating their own social communities. Herein lies an incredible opportunity for organizations to make a significant business impact and take full ownership of their brand’s social identity.
By building online social communities, organizations can take control of customer interactions, gather strategic data for future campaigns and initiatives, analyze what drives their B2B and B2C consumers, and reclaim their social identities to streamline their overall brand experience.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
- Create a scalable and engaged social community
- Identify key brand influencers and leverage user-generated content
- Increase your brand’s social activity
- Convert social activity into sales and marketing opportunities
- Use Drupal Commons 3’s market-leading toolset to manage, analyze and optimize your social communities

How to Personalize Content to Drive Customer ActionAcquia
Marketers understand the value of communicating with customers on a personal level. Offering targeted content can build loyalty, increase engagement and drive action. Creating inspiring experiences can be the difference between winning or losing marketing share.
It is important to use data to implement personalization on your site. Leveraging Drupal as an integration hub and using Salesforce.com as a data respository for capturing user activity can fuel a marketer’s ability to deliver a unique experience. OHO, an Acquia partner, will demonstrate how the Romney for President campaign used this approach to connect with their audience and ultimately raise donations over $200 million.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
• Inspire and empower users to become active brand advocates
• Use multi-channel strategies and techniques
• Implement gamification to increase engagement

"Your customer data flows faster each day, which is why collecting, organizing, and doing something meaningful with it is just good business.
But, it can be tough to do.
Stashing data in different places across your organization to come back (hopefully) later is a great way to mismanage or lose it. Squirrels can stash, but enterprises can’t.
You need a customer data platform (CDP). A central command center that securely holds your customer data and lets you organize it according to your goals.
The thing is, what’s best for you? A CDP out-of-the-box? Building a customer data solution yourself? There’s merit in both options, and this webinar is here to help you narrow down what’s best for your business. Acquia, Bounteous, and Appnovation will show you:
How a single source for customer data storage can mitigate risk and optimize customer experience
How central data governance will help your customer data strategy once the almighty Google takes away cookies
The comprehensive CDP build-or-buy checklist + CDP must-haves for your budget
First-party data management that keeps your customers' data safe and your business booming
It’s 10 PM, do you know where your data is?"
Taking Your Multi-Site Management at Scale to the Next LevelAcquia
Creating digital experiences across a portfolio of sites can present a big challenge. It requires thinking about scale in multiple dimensions, from standardizing on a technology toolset and driving adoption of that platform across an organization, to establishing content governance and user experience standards to guide the design and build of many sites. In order to build a foundation for scale, all of these dimensions and more need to be addressed. With a strong foundation, next-level digital strategies such as multi-channel content management and personalization can be incorporated into your multi-site management.
Join digital leaders and experts from Princeton University, FFW, and Acquia, to learn from their experiences tackling multi-site management at scale. Hear about best practices drawn from the large portfolios of sites that higher-ed institutions manage, and discover Acquia’s holistic solution for multi-site management with Acquia Site Factory+, Acquia Site Studio, Widen DAM, and Acquia Personalization.

How to Migrate, Manage and Centralize your Web Infrastructure with Drupal
1. How to Migrate, Manage and Centralize your Web
Infrastructure with Drupal
Jim Keller
Principal, Context
2. 9-person Drupal team based just
Outside of Philadelphia
Background in Software Development
Extensive server management
& website deployment experience
http://thisiscontext.com
3. A common problem
- Different departments within an organization create, manage,
and maintain their own website
- No thought given to scalability, centralization, or ongoing
viability
- No consistency in approach
4. In the end, organizations are left with a tangled mess of different
platforms, different development techniques, and proprietary components
5. A plan
Assess
What do we have now, and who is it important to?
Migrate & Integrate
Transferring data from one platform to another, or sharing data between
systems
Manage
Keeping everything running
Maintain
Preventing the mess from happening again
11. Assess
Before making any kind of platform decision, take an inventory of your current web properties
Start slow and break the process into manageable chunks
Collaborate with stakeholders to identify priorities
Take extra time assessing integrations / data
sharing components
12. Migrate
Drupal 7 Entities
Entities provide a single building block for all types of data stored in Drupal
Entities can be blog posts, news entries, users, taxonomy terms, comments – any piece of data
is considered an entity
Entities have fields, not unlike tables in a database
Drupal modules act on entities using the entity API. Once a piece of data has been imported
into Drupal as an entity, it can be manipulated, displayed, aggregated, or referenced by other
entities.
13. Migrate
The Feeds Module: Your friend in migration
One-off imports and periodic aggregation
of content
Create nodes, users, taxonomy terms
or simple database records from import
Import or aggregate RSS/Atom feeds
Extensible to import any other kind of content
Import or aggregate CSV files
Granular mapping of input elements to Drupal
content elements
Import or aggregate OPML files
PubSubHubbub support
Exportable configurations
Batched import for large files
...Combine with the Feeds Tamper module for custom pre-processing of incoming data
14. Migrate
You may have to write some custom code to massage your data into
place, but Drupal can make this process approachable
Learn more about feeds:
The developer's guide to feeds: https://drupal.org/node/622700
Contributed Plugin modules for feeds: https://drupal.org/node/856644
15. Integrate
Drupal provides almost limitless opportunity to integrate outside systems, but there are
Some important decisions to be made before beginning the technical aspects of integration:
1. Does the cost (both time, money, and opportunity) of performing the integration
outweigh the benefit of actually having the systems integrated?
2. Can the existing system and the new system live harmoniously, but still remain
separate, without compromising user experience or internal workflows?
3. Does the existing system provide strong integration opportunities, without the need to
rebuild a significant portion of the application’s business logic?
16. Integrate
Some help with your integration, courtesy of Drupal:
The services module – http://drupal.org/project/services
“A standardized solution of integrating external applications with Drupal. Service
callbacks may be used with multiple interfaces like REST, XMLRPC, JSON, JSON
RPC, SOAP, AMF, etc.”
Custom Drupal modules
You probably won’t come away with a successful integration without building a few of
these. Don’t be afraid to build custom where needed, but remember to search first so you
don’t reinvent the wheel.
Feeds, Again
Feeds can be your friend here as well. For integrations that don’t require realtime
communication, a custom feeds plugin running on a set interval is a practical way to
import and export data.
17. Manage
Drupal Multi-Site
Multi-site capabilities are built into Drupal core
A single Drupal core installation can drive dozens of sites
Module installations can be shared across multiple sites, creating a centralized hub for
management &updates
19. Manage
Enterprise Hosting
Drupal can run on Linux or Windows, and supports a number of database engines including
mySQL and MS-SQL
Drupal has a 40-person security team
Drupal has been combat tested on high-profile, high traffic sites
Enterprise hosting platform and 24/7 support through Acquia
21. Maintain
Policies and Procedures
Create standards and best practice recommendations for your organization
Having clear, written policies and procedures for change management is critical to ensuring
that
Make sure stakeholders are aware of the procedures and have adequate time to account for
them in planning
25. Other Considerations
For another time...
Adoption
Helping people understand the benefits of change
Training
Centralizing helps makes training efforts much more practical
Ongoing Support
Keeping your users happy and productive
