ActiveStandards, the leader in enterprise digital governance solutions, along with Cognifide, the leading provider of Adobe® Experience Manager (AEM) services, today announced the integration of its digital governance SaaS platform with AEM, enabling digital marketers to seamlessly validate the quality and compliance of their digital content at the point of publication.
“AEM is a market-leader in delivering digital experiences and is the CMS of choice for many of our customers” said Simon Lande, CEO, ActiveStandards. “The new integration builds digital governance support directly into the AEM publication workflow, closing the air gap between content authoring and digital quality assurance, so customers can test and optimize their digital content without leaving the AEM environment. This development is part of our roadmap to integrate with all the main CMS platforms used by our clients.”
The integration has been developed in partnership with Cognifide, Europe´s leading provider of AEM services.
Cleve Gibbon, Chief Technology Officer - Cognifide, said, "As global organizations establish disruptive and differentiated digital estates, governance is now an executive level agenda item to enforce rich and consistent content-driven experiences at scale and at speed. As Europe’s leading provider of AEM services, we work closely with Adobe to deliver useful and useable integrated solutions to real customer problems in the digital marketing space. The ActiveStandards AEM integration we´ve developed simplifies the way global brands govern their digital estates and enforces centralized content standards and policies at a global, regional and local level."
Shell International, recognized as a leader in online excellence, have been an ActiveStandards client since the service first launched in 2006.
Chris Muscutt, Digital Development Manager for Shell International, commented: “At Shell, our global web teams use ActiveStandards alongside AEM on a daily basis to protect the quality and compliance of our digital content. We have worked closely with ActiveStandards to help enhance this integration so that content authoring and digital governance work together during the editing process rather than as a separate review stage. This will ultimately speed up time to market and continue to put quality and good governance right at the center of our publication process.”
Business challenges the AEM integration addresses:
- Streamlines the deployment and management of digital governance with direct AEM workflow integration.
- Optimizes the online experience for website users, improves marketing effectiveness and mitigates risk.
- Drives continuing improvements in digital operations with sophisticated reporting, benchmarking and compliance analytics.
- Simplifies the management of complex, multi-stakeholder online environments.
