Innovation is at the heart of our strategy

Innovation is part of our approach, with particular attention paid to the evolution of Drupal, new web usages, and artificial intelligence. Since 2022, we have established internal project groups dedicated to innovation. The goal is to devote 15 to 20% of our annual time to these projects (17% in 2024, i.e., +5 FTE). This innovation strategy has led to 3 major pilot projects: 

  • The bluedrop.fr laboratory : A testing environment for Drupal innovations and AI tools.
  • The demo of our Drupal starter : To speed up the development of new projects while maintaining a high level of quality, we have developed our own Drupal Starter. This preconfigured foundation notably includes reusable components, features related to accessibility, performance, and eco-design, as well as best practices needed to launch a Drupal project. 18 pre-configured components (blocks) and two content types that we simply adapt to our clients’ branding.
  • Dropfactory : a management console for Drupal site factories.
