Three years ago, we launched the Acquia Engage Award Program to celebrate the best examples of our customers and partners’ work. In 2018, we revamped our award program categories to better highlight how these organizations are changing the game with digital. It’s safe to say that this year’s batch of finalists definitely lived up to the challenge.
Acquia’s customers and partners submitted projects for consideration across 14 categories. Nominations that demonstrated an advanced level functionality, integration, performance (results and key performance indicators), and overall user experience advanced to the finalist round, where an outside panel of experts will select the winning projects.
“This year’s Acquia Engage Award nominees show what’s possible when open technology and boundless ambition come together to create elegant, world-class customer experiences. They’re making every customer interaction more meaningful with powerful, personalized experiences that span the web, mobile devices, voice assistants, and more. Their work is inspiring, and we’re proud to recognize their accomplishments,” said Joe Wykes, senior vice president, global channels and commerce at Acquia.
This year’s field of finalists features 45 projects selected from more than 100 partner and customer submissions. Winners will be announced on October 24, 2018, ahead of the Acquia Engage Conference. In the meantime, you can read the stories of all of our finalists and nominees in the Acquia Engage Award Gallery.
It is our pleasure to announce the finalists for the 2018 Acquia Engage Awards. We think you will be impressed, if not inspired too.
