Advanced Micro Devices is a global semiconductor company located in the United States with facilities around the world and over $4 billion in revenue in 2016. In early 2017, in tandem with the launch of a new line of processors, AMD launched a new web site built on Drupal. This site consolidated multiple Sharepoint sites and centralized the management of marketing content and hardware specifications to ultimately handle a catalog of over 1200 SKUs across 11 different product lines.
Constructing the new site using Drupal 8 faced a number of challenges during this project:
* unclear project requirements
* choosing among approaches to a complex architecture model of multiple custom entity types for dynamic storage and display of rich product data
* missing designs and using paragraphs-based landing pages for marketing content
* immaturity with some of the key offerings required to complete the project, including content workflow
* translations! moderation! and more!
We’ll review the approach the Acquia Professional Services team took to overcome these challenges and the overall model that successfully delivered the project on time and on budget.

Good flow, good presentation materials. I think the presentation could have used a different title, just because the "Create Once, Publish Everywhere" title carries a lot of baggage related to the NPR project that originated that term. I came in expecting that a "content hub" approach was going to be the focus of the discussion, which it was not -- it was more a story of the project development approach and how the team overcame the challenges described above.
Special kudos for maintaining a great flow with so many presenters on deck -- you handled that very well.
Good stuff!
