Drupal 8: Open Source Enterprise Digital Experiences
Web Content Management Never Looked So Good
Drupal provides the modern WCM capabilities to build, operate and optimize sites and experiences across any channel, device, personalization strategy and more. Drupal allows you to tap into the global power of an open source community, yet build exactly what your organization and brand requires to engage and convert customers and prospects.
Highlighted Features
Content Authoring
D8 provides an out-of-the-box authoring experience for content authors, editors, marketers and other experience creators to make content creation and in-place editing streamlined and easy.
Media Management
Rich media support for images, audio, videos and other files, including oEmbed support for using YouTube and Vimeo videos, makes Drupal 8 a robust media management platform.
Workflow That Works
Drupal 8’s workflow and content moderation capabilities make it simple for teams to collaborate across time and distance on content revisions and approvals, and even create complex workflows for editorial processes.
Flexible Content Layout
Creating content layouts isn’t just for technical teams. Empower developers and business users to structure pages and layouts, and use drag-and-drop tools, that creatively display content and media using D8’s layout builder.
Multilingual Content
Drupal is the product of global contributors. So it’s no surprise multilingual experiences are part of the Drupal 8 experience. Dozens of languages can be used for its interface and for publishing content to sites and applications.
Mobile-Ready
D8 was built to be mobile-ready, meaning it’s architected to provide a great mobile experience for site visitors and site administrators alike.
Decoupled Drupal 8
Experience creators serve a multichannel, multi-experience world. D8 makes it possible to establish colorful, creative, and engaging content-driven experiences that break out of the page-based paradigm to support any channel or format. D8 supports API-driven, multichannel content delivery in both decoupled and hybrid decoupled modes, ensuring content can be delivered everywhere your visitors are – any device, screen, or application.
Acquia Lightning Makes D8 Greater
The D8 Acquia Lightning distribution adds power to Drupal 8. It helps developers build better, faster in four key areas (and empowers non-technical users) with layouts, media, workflow, and API, with additional enhancements available for SEO and developer tools.
