You Can Have It All: Build Creative Brand Sites Faster

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

“I want to bring new products and campaigns to market faster.” Simple, right? Yet how many of us digital marketers have this dream, but don’t actually get to turn it into a reality? For some, you may find yourself spending more time negotiating or revising project timelines with IT than launching killer digital marketing campaigns. Or, maybe you’ve just become painfully accustomed to having your marketing website requests postponed or delayed because of higher priority IT projects. It’s time to shake up your digital strategy. Join us for a webinar to learn about Acquia Cloud Site Factory—the digital experience platform that gives your marketing team the agility and freedom to connect with digital consumers AND scales to meet the needs of your IT organization. We’ll review how you can: • Give marketing a toolkit for self-service site creation • Launch websites by the hundreds, with minimal effort • Create websites that adhere to brand standards (and still maintain creative freedom!) • Build mobile-ready, responsive sites • Integrate with your existing digital marketing tools and 3rd party platforms to drive results

CAN WE HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO?

What’s Required • Can scale affordably from a cost and

performance perspective • Push towards configuration rather than coding • Intelligent Re-use • Time to market advantage • Provides data to drive insights� • Supports mobile and other displays through

approaches like responsive and adaptive • Sites can be extended expanded if needed�

Nice to Have • Support for custom mobile web experiences

and mobile apps • Integration with other tools • Provides mechanism to use that data to tailor

experiences for individuals

VML + ACQUIA | SOLUTIONS + BEST PRACTICES

TWO PARADIGMS

Programmatic-Based Solution • Proven approach • Works best in organizations requiring top

down approval for all content creation and site functionality

• Requires advanced developer resources ongoing

Replication-Based Solution • Up & Coming • Works best in organizations requiring

distributed control around content creation and site functionality

• Limits need for developers

IS CLOUD SITE FACTORY AN ACCEPTABLE REPLICATION-BASED SOLUTION?

We have been working with Acquia on this model for years since they first launched Drupal gardens that has now evolved into Cloud Site Factory. The sites created with Drupal Gardens were very fast to spin up but lacked the rich theming and integrations which the new Acquia Cloud Site Factory solution addresses !We are in the middle of several projects utilizing the solution and have validated the key requirements we outlined before.

VML + ACQUIA | SOLUTIONS + BEST PRACTICES

BEST PRACTICES• Driving adoption through training is essential for all stakeholders on the core solution

including tools for both global site management as well as individual site management !• But even more important is communicating the strategy for how to get the most out of this

approach for�individual sites and how to help others as well !

• Work out a plan for re-use of functionality and content up front and implement a process for revising as the solution is adopted !

• Leverage Acquia’s experience and expertise to find solutions to problems that use the existing modules and functionality. Lots of good, creative solutions have been found on other client work !

• Ensure that the template sites that are created have good, clear examples of solutions to common site functionality
