EPAM & Mars Together Win 2021 Acquia Engage Awards
EPAM Systems, Inc along with Mars Inc has won the 2021 Acquia Engage Award for “Leader of the Pack: Retail.” The Acquia Engage Awards recognize high-impact digital experiences that organizations worldwide are building with the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform, including Drupal Cloud and Marketing Cloud. Winners demonstrate an advanced level of functionality, integration, performance, and user experience.
Mars worked with EPAM to develop its vision of a “starter kit,” a shared toolkit that provides all Mars brands with a well-defined process and consistent starting point for building brand and campaign web destinations. Prior to the creation of this platform toolkit, Mars relied on “one-off” website development services that led to many separate implementations unique to each individual segment or brand, rather than a broad implementation with a single, shared approach for the whole corporation.
With Acquia Site Factory as the underlying infrastructure, the project team created a unified platform providing new digital experiences for all Mars brands while ensuring compliance, delivering easy maintenance, and reducing costs. The toolkit helps Mars brands to easily create, build, manage and scale new sites independently without developer intervention—leading to a 50 percent reduction in web development time and a 40 percent decrease in ongoing web maintenance costs.
