Take your business (and the Drupal project itself) to the next level with Drupal products.\n
\n
How many of you are new to Drupal?\nHow many of you are assessing or using Drupal for clients?\nHow many for your own projects, businesses, or ideas?\n\n
I am going to do this a couple of time today: when you hear one word, I&#x2019;ll ask you to think of another.\nWhen you see and hear &#x201C;Linux&#x201D; now, think &#x201C;Drupal&#x201D;.\n
\n
\n
\n
What is the next watershed moment for Drupal?\n\n
Deanspace - Howard Dean, US presidential candidate.\n
mtv.co.uk, first Drupal version in D4.7 (?)\n
Commercial support.\n\n
whitehouse.gov\n\n
Al Jazeera, Warner Bros, Sony, Examiner.com, economist.com ...\n\n
What is the next watershed moment for Drupal?\n\n
More than 3000 people took the &#x201C;State of Drupal 2011&#x201D; survey.\n\n
\n
\n
This flexibility allowed the emergence of Drupal software companies\nwith innovative products built with Drupal - I think these are the next watershed moment for Drupal\nDrupal's flexibility has resulted in Drupal products\nProducts are the key to the project's future:\n- as demo and pitch tools - lego tub and picture on lego set box\n- as work-reduction and efficiency aids\n- as solutions to commons problems\n- to grow the project, create more Drupal jobs, make more money ... I'll come back to this ...\n
Listen to your customers, give them the flexibility to solve problems\nthat you haven&#x2019;t thought of or that don&#x2019;t exist yet.\nRemember: Drupal is to our clients as PHP is to us ...\na too, a means to an end.\n
\n
This flexibility allowed the emergence of Drupal software companies\nwith innovative products built with Drupal - I think these are the next watershed moment for Drupal\nI&#x2019;m going to talk about Drupal Commerce today, but it is only one example of many possibilities.\nThere are many verticals, many opportunities for Drupal PRODUCTS to make a difference: to the world, to your business, to the Drupal project, and so on\nDrupal Rooms, Open Public, etc. ...\n\n
\n
D7 is being adopted more rapidly than any other version of Drupal before. 100,000 live sites in 6 months. Drupal 6 took 1 year to reach this milestone.\n\n
Thanks to the innovations in Drupal 7, we&#x2019;re starting to see great things happen:\nThe Commerce module is a great example of leveraging Drupal 7. I think it is going to expose Drupal to a new world.\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Let&#x2019;s talk about the history of e-commerce and define the problem space a little better that Drupal Commerce is solving.\n
\n
&#x2022; Mostly B2B\n&#x2022; Online (not web!) - &#x201C;MODEM COMMERCE&#x201D;\n&#x2022; No full transaction support\n&#x2022; Completely custom\n
&#x2022; Large players and large B2C markets\n&#x2022; Pure e-commerce players\n&#x2022; Focused on early adopters\n&#x2022; Mostly custom platforms\n
&#x2022; Profitability (!)\n&#x2022; Channels & players multiply\n&#x2022; Traditional retailers arrive\n&#x2022; Multiple software platforms\n&#x2022; Online shopping is a game for customers\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n
\n
\n
Provide and/or leverage multiple channels around and/or via your e-commerce platform:\n&#x25BA; Implement Product Content Management // &#x25BA; Web, Mobile\n&#x25BA; Point of Sales // &#x25BA; Blogs // &#x25BA; Print, Videos, TV\n&#x25BA; Social Networks // &#x25BA; B2B, B2C, C2C\n
Use rich content to recruit visitors, then provide an innovative experience to retain them:\n&#x25BA; Online Catalogs, not just shops // &#x25BA; &#x201C;Media Commerce&#x201D;\n&#x25BA; Flash / Private Sales // &#x25BA; Quality customer communities\n&#x25BA; Customization // &#x25BA; Personalization //\n&#x25BA; Multichannel when it make sense\n
\n
After all this detail, we get back to my main point:\nDrupal Commerce is not a system within a system, it IS DRUPAL as a product.\n&#x2022;&#x2751;e-commerce is very complex and requires lots of flexibility\n&#x2022;&#x2751;variation in approach and technology in e-commerce are radically different from each other\n&#x25BC;&#x2751;require integration of\n&#x2022;&#x2751;catalog systems, physical systems, CRM, ERP (enterprise resource planning), etc.\n&#x2022;&#x2751;With Drupal's flexibility and ability to integrate, it is our biggest trump card.\n\n
Focus on rich content experience (which Drupal does so well: Sony, Warner, etc.) before or alongside the commerce aspect.\nNo other system can do content-driven conversion like Drupal w/Drupal Commerce.\n
I just went through a lot of details about e-commerce and Drupal Commerce.\nWhy does any of this matter?\n(And keep in mind, this doesn&#x2019;t just apply to e-commerce, it&#x2019;s only one of many potential verticals and examples.)\n\n
- E-Commerce Expo London is not the biggest E-Commerce event: in\nEurope, E-Commerce Paris is bigger, in the US, IRCE is the biggest.\nThere is also a lot of smaller events that are bigger than EE London.\n
\n
\n
The average E-retailer spends 7.4% of its revenues on technologies\n(including software, services, hardware and specific facilities).\nThe top of e-commerce pyramid spends 20% of its revenues on technologies,\nthe bottom spends down to 0.05% of its revenues on technologies.\n\n
Drupal is a small market compared to\nthe E-Commerce technology market as a whole\n
\n
E-Commerce != Drupal\n\nWe went to the biggest E-Commerce conferences and tradeshows in the world, only to realize huge differences between what customers and integrators expect from technologies in the e-commerce market and the Drupal market\n

Drupal is to our clients as PHP is to us ... a too, a means to an end.\nThe next slide is from 2001. I want you to imagine you hear the word &#x201C;CMS&#x201D; when you hear &#x201C;personal computers&#x201D; and ... this is important, &#x201C;clients&#x201D; when you hear the word &#x201C;kids&#x201D;. When you hear &#x201C;educational software&#x201D;, think &#x201C;Drupal products.&#x201D;\n
