We see a lot of companies and organizations struggling to get a grip on their digital ecosystem, where a DXP is ‘the new kid in town.’ A DXP is responsible for orchestrating content and data with user interactions. Dropsolid offers a broad knowledge spectrum that must be covered to set up the best possible solution and operate it efficiently.
We combine strategic advice and solution building based on open-source technology with in-depth knowledge of domains like UX/UI, SEO, GDPR, accessibility, data architecture, enterprise architecture, infrastructure, security, and cloud services. This combination enables us to state that we have a full-service approach to building digital experience platforms.
The strength of this offering is that we have a visionary, efficient, and high-quality service that translates into long-term relationships and well-maintained platforms built to last. Dropsolid is an expert in helping its clients make the right strategic and technological choices to achieve the best digital experience for their end users.
Dropsolid has, since day one, been mainly funding its own growth in a more long-term and sustainable approach. We envisioned building an open-source-based platform from day one but knew this would take time to build and market. We’ve built an expert team doing multiple challenging digital projects for our clients. All learnings from those projects and client interactions are the soil on which our platform has been built and will further evolve in the future.
In a market where full-service agencies often make promises of five-star quality but end up delivering only three stars, we distinguish ourselves through consistency in quality and transparency in our services. Unlike integrators, who focus primarily on dry IT solutions without mastering the art of seamless digital experiences, we offer an integrated approach. Our experts always look for the bigger picture, avoiding the fragmented, uncoordinated scenario of multiple companies laboriously working together. With us, there is no disconnected collection of services but a seamless, holistic, and omnichannel digital experience delivered by one team.
Moreover, where other players rely on external vendors, which often leads to limitations in flexibility, we bundle a product and our services under one roof. This enables us to respond quickly to the changing needs of our customers and the market with solutions that not only meet today's requirements but are also future-proof.
Set your strategy straight for 2024
Creating the best possible digital experience for your target audience—both external and internal—begins with a crystal-clear mission, vision, and strategy for your organization. From this foundation, you transition into a Digital Experience Strategy, where you define business requirements across various domains that call for an improved digital experience. Identify pain points, set objectives, and take the next step in user research to validate concepts that meet these needs. This approach significantly increases your chances of success, securing buy-in from the entire organization before a single line of code is written.
Over the past decade, Dropsolid Digital Experience Company has expanded its team with a wide range of competencies to help our clients establish sustainable foundations, both strategically and technologically. The importance of ownership over code, data, and platform is crucial. They form the base and a structural component of your organization that can grow with changing needs, all in complete freedom!
We’ll share some key takeaways with you:
Putting it into practice means no high-level consultancy theories, no complicated theoretical tech stacks, and no lock-ins. It means clear, executable strategy, well-proven tech, and sovereignty through an open digital experience with results.
The shift from CMS to DXP is inevitable in 2024
If your organization still thinks in terms of a website with CMS and doesn’t have a clear vision of the transformation towards a Digital Experience Platform, you will find yourself outperformed by the ones that do make the shift. When the digital experience strategy is well-defined, you’ll see that an interconnected ecosystem of digital solutions is a must to make your target audience's experiences thrive. Choosing a composable, expandable, and futureproof eco-system is a must. And you’d better own that solution yourself! The choice for open-source means so much more than just choosing software. It’s also choosing sovereignty and the freedom for your organization to independently steer your own course.

Priority for cybersecurity
With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, prioritizing cybersecurity is essential. Dropsolid's steps in implementing an ISMS (Information Security Management System), achieving ISO27001certification, and appointing a dedicated security officer underscore the critical importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding digital experiences against emerging threats.
Embrace of Sovereignty and Hybrid Cloud Solutions: the move towards data sovereignty and control, coupled with the adoption of hybrid cloud solutions, highlights the growing need for flexibility and control over data and systems. This trend is particularly relevant in an era where AI integration into business processes is rising, requiring robust and adaptable infrastructure solutions.
Collectively, these trends indicate a shift towards more integrated, secure, and sustainable digital experiences. They reflect the industry's response to evolving user expectations and the growing importance of digital agility in a rapidly changing world.
