This will feature 100 word texts for each maker and new layout.</p> <p>The objective is to firmly establish these makers as the go to suppliers for Drupal AI. The benefits are:</p> <ol> <li>Buyers will elect to do business with these companies</li> <li>Makers see ROI and keep funding Drupal AI</li> <li>The DA gets revenue</li> <li>The customer gets a good experience</li> </ol> <p><strong>Problem</strong><br> The term &ldquo;AI Maker&rdquo; itself may not effectively convey to external audiences that these companies represent the most capable partners. It is arguably more of an internal marketing term.</p> <p><strong>Current state</strong><br> At recent events, we have used the designation Drupal AI Partners to avoid confusion with Drupal Certified Partners among end customers.</p> <p>These companies are already Drupal Certified Partners, but in addition, they have made further commitments, providing financial support and dedicated full-time staff (FTE) focused on Drupal AI. They are the recognised experts in this space.</p> <p><strong>Needs fixing now</strong><br> It is important that we agree on consistent terminology and adhere to it. We also need a clear, compelling description of what being a Maker, Partner, or Sponsor entails, so that we can communicate to potential clients that these are the companies to engage with, and thereby demonstrate tangible value to our funders. The longer we wait, the more rooted the maker term becomes. Is it the right one to keep?</p> <p>The current page says Drupal AI Certified Partners. Is this acceptable or problematic?<br> "<em>Drupal AI Certified Partners provide consulting services to help you build the best AI solutions for your needs. They have demonstrated expertise in Drupal and a commitment to support the Drupal code and the Drupal community.</em>"</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong><br> The <a href="https://new.drupal.org/association/become-a-drupal-certified-partner">Become a DCP page</a> does articulate to some degree the stature of DCPs</p> <h3>Example text for DCPs</h3> <p>Drupal Certified Partners provide consulting services to help you build the best digital experience for your needs.
