Mobile-izing Your Organization with Drupal, Northpoint and Acquia

Whether on smart phones, tablets, wifi or 4G, more and more people are carrying the web around in their pockets, backpacks, briefcases, and purses. As web browsing on mobile devices increases in frequency, the need for mobile-optimized websites and applications is pressing.Many organizations find it challenging to bring their content to mobile users. The ability for an organization to “go mobile” requires careful planning, a good understanding of the contextual user experience that will be provided, and an in-depth knowledge of the highly-fragmented world of mobile devices.Fortunately, Drupal already has a lot of functionality and modules that will help your organization create these mobile websites and make sure that they are also highly scalable and built to support growth. During this webinar, we will also demonstrate how Drupal can power both native applications (e.g. iPhone, Android) and mobile websites without the need for heavy customization. We will cover topics such as device detection, multi-platform distribution, scalability, content adaptation, mobile testing, web services and performance optimization using many tools already present in Drupal (Mobile Tools, WURFL, build modes, Services, etc).During the webinar, we will demonstrate how we have applied these concepts to mobile websites for several Fortune 500 companies, leaving you with several takeaways that you can utilize to set up your organization’s mobile platform. In addition to these real-world examples, we will elaborate on strategies for developing highly-scalable Drupal mobile architectures/implementations and all of Drupal’s capabilities to publish and power mobile content.
