Tales of Transformation: Enhancing our Partner Ecosystem with Acquia

Acquia, a leading digital experience platform provider (DXP), offers Acquia DAM as part of its comprehensive toolkit. Recognizing the growing demand for streamlined asset transformation, Acquia partnered with CHILI publish to develop the Acquia DAM Connector for CHILI GraFx. This integration empowers users to effortlessly create on-brand, high-quality graphics at scale directly from Acquia DAM, while strengthening the CHILI publish partner network with a seamless, comprehensive solution.

The Challenge: Improving Efficiency in DAM + Creative Automation workflows

Acquia's enterprise customers face mounting pressure to produce high volumes of personalized content for various channels from their Acquia DAMs. This demand can strain resources, lead to inconsistencies in branding and messaging, and amplify incorrect asset usage if not managed effectively.

Acquia wanted to enhance their DAM offering by streamlining the graphic production process for their customers, while ensuring brand compliance, and maximizing the value of their DAM investment. They needed a solution that could bridge the gap between asset management and scalable graphic production, empowering their customers to create on-brand, personalized content with ease.

Everyone that needs to access digital assets should be able to get to them while staying in their preferred tool…

The Solution: A Pioneering Connection Between Platforms

To meet this need, Acquia partnered with CHILI publish to create a groundbreaking solution: Leveraging CHILI GraFx's brand new Connector Framework, they developed the first-ever Connector for their Acquia DAM in May 2024.

And the result? The Acquia DAM Connector for CHILI GraFx now enables Acquia DAM users to seamlessly access brand-approved assets directly within GraFx Studio. This eliminates the need for manual asset transfers between platforms. And by preserving metadata and respecting user permissions, the connector also helps ensure brand consistency and adherence to DAM policies.

Combining Acquia DAM's robust asset management with CHILI GraFx's advanced creative automation was made simple by leveraging the CHILI GraFx Connector Framework and Acquia DAM's API. The resulting solution now delivers plug-and-play connectivity, empowering anyone to effortlessly connect CHILI GraFx with Acquia DAM, and unlock the full potential of their digital assets.

The integration of Acquia DAM and CHILI GraFx is like peanut butter and jelly– they go well together, a perfect match.
