Celebrating 25 Years of Drupal

A quarter century of open-source innovation. From its first release in 2001 to powering the world's most ambitious digital experiences today, Drupal has transformed how organizations build for the web. JAKALA is proud to celebrate this milestone at DrupalCon Chicago.

Grow Faster with Composable
Experiences Powered by Data and Insights

Your growth shouldn't wait on your technology. JAKALA brings together Drupal, AI, data, and content into composable platforms that accelerate time to market, reduce cost of ownership, and make digital channels measurable drivers of revenue, mission impact, and organizational effectiveness.

What We're Talking About

Key topics our team is ready to explore with you at DrupalCon and beyond.

SEO to GEO: The New AI Search Economy

Search has changed faster in the past year than in the previous decade. 50% of US consumers already use AI-powered search tools, and for many it's now their primary source for buying decisions. GEO readiness isn't about new tools—it's about understanding how users now discover, evaluate, and trust content.

Key insight: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) requires rethinking content strategy for AI-driven discovery, not just traditional search rankings.

AI in Content Workflows: Beyond the Hype

Over 80% of enterprise growth leaders recognize AI will change their work, yet 84% admit they don't know how. AI is like a microwave—it does specific things well, but it's only as good as how it's used. Success requires intentional use at the individual level and strategic orchestration across the organization.

Key insight: Orchestration is the critical piece. Individual AI tools deliver value, but strategic integration across teams and processes multiplies impact.

AI Tools for Drupal Development & Content

GraphQL + TypeScript creates an AI-ready development workflow where tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor deliver reliable suggestions with real-time validation. JAKALA's headless Drupal approach matches SaaS editorial experiences while keeping content teams in control.

Key insight: The combination of headless Drupal, GraphQL, and AI-assisted development lets teams ship faster without sacrificing editorial experience or content governance.

Accessibility & Web Governance

JAKALA won Acquia's 2025 Partner of the Year for Web Governance and Accessibility. Our Chief Growth Officer Lauren Sallata moderated a CES panel with C-level executives from Microsoft, Verizon, Sony, Salesforce, and IBM on accessibility. AI tools can help ensure Drupal websites are and remain accessible at scale.

Key insight: Accessibility is not a one-time effort. Ongoing governance combined with AI-assisted monitoring ensures sustained compliance and inclusivity.

Composable DXP: Technology Alone Isn't the Solution

Whether you're consolidating multiple legacy platforms into a unified multi-brand ecosystem or migrating hundreds of sites to modern Drupal, composable architecture gives you the flexibility to scale without lock-in.

Key insight: A composable approach reduces total cost of ownership, accelerates time to market, and lets you choose best-of-breed tools for each capability.
