A Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is a software platform that enables organisations to create, manage, and deliver personalised digital experiences across multiple channels. Drupal is set to ensure the enterprise market is ready to move into this space.
The professional discussions and talks about how this can benefit your customers and help achieve your business goals were plentiful. These topics mentioned below are just a few items that were top of mind for all attending.
- Digital Asset Management.
- Personalization.
- Artificial intelligence.
- Content Management.
- Building websites at scale and with speed.
- Use cases for low code for development teams.
Yes, the web is alive and open for all potential users, yes an open web allows for a decentralised, collaborative, and interoperable platform that is accessible to all. Accessibility has become a topic that an important topic of inclusivity and diversity and now a team can test and audit websites. Two companies were discussed.
- Silktide.
- Monsido
These tools will be more relevant in today's DXP world with governments and businesses needing to adhere to the WWAG2 standard. The future of the open web is subject to various trends, challenges, and opportunities that may shape its evolution and impact. However, an open web like what was promoted at Drupal South shows the future of the internet is safe for all.
