Acquia Source lets your team plug in the external AI tools you already use, and it changes how fast digital experiences come together. Here is what that unlocks: 🔹 Bring your own AI builder to speed up new site builds, or to migrate an existing non-Drupal website straight into Acquia Source CMS. 🔹Skip the handoffs. Design and development can work from the same AI-assisted workflow instead of passing files back and forth. Our partner, FreelyGive Ltd, put this to the test. They used AI to rebuild their customer Casa Brugal's website, moving it off WordPress and into Source CMS, without the usual months-long rebuild timeline.

Drupal 11.4 is now available, marking an ideal opportunity to begin preparations for Drupal 12.

According to our VP of Platform and Solutions Marketing, Maggie Schroeder, executive pressure to "use more AI" is creating a tidal wave of disconnected tools and stalled campaigns. To scale productivity and turn AI into a true digital teammate, marketing teams need to embrace the "Agentic Enterprise." That requires three crucial layers: 1️⃣ An established knowledge base (for both humans and AI) 2️⃣ A skills library that defines what a "good" output looks like 3️⃣ Deep tool connectivity (because AI that can’t reach into your stack is just a chatbot) Dive into this piece from CMS Critic to learn how Acquia Source is providing a unified command center to orchestrate these agentic workflows. https://lnkd.in/gDXm3JrH

Managing 113 years of brand assets is no small feat, especially during a rebrand.
