Drupal, beer & pizza

We had a great time hosting Drupal Show & Tell last Thursday, the first of a series of events in our wonderful new studio on Great Pulteney Street.

We had the largest turnout in recent times for Drupal Show & Tell, so thanks to everyone for coming down and making the event a great success.

The first talk was from our own development team entitled "Reacting to progressively decoupled Drupal". Gary, Alberto, George and Liam talked through how we are using React components powered by Drupal content, within Drupal sites, to deliver a more immersive UI for end users.

The second talk was "How Invotra leveraged Drupal to build the world's best intranet SaaS product" by Billy Clackers & Nqobile Dube from Invotra. Billy spoke about UX/functional/content and Nqobile discussed infrastructural and performance/scaling challenges.

Data driven personalisation

As Acquia partners, we’ve worked with their Lift product for several of our clients, employing the platform in different ways.

Acquia Lift allows us to gather the insights we need to create and deliver targeted, in-context experiences that drive engagement, conversion, and loyalty.

Our most recently launched project (now live in beta) leverages and extends Lift and Content Hub to provide a truly personalised browsing experience for Institute of Physics members.

IOP’s personalised platform

Using the Content Hub component of Lift, we syndicate content from a range of the IOP’s digital properties, all built on different platforms. As Lift only accepts content from Drupal sources, we created a Drupal-based proxy - called CHAP (Content Hub API Proxy) - which passes the content up to the Content Hub platform for syndication.

That content is then displayed alongside on-site content on the IOP’s new web platform (designed and built by Catch). There, members can log in and - using our simple onboarding process combined with the all-new global taxonomy we devised - personalise their experience with the IOP.
