AI-Powered Open DXPs: A Service Provider’s Perspective
Steven Pepermans, Co-founder and COO of Dropsolid, outlines how “intelligent open digital experiences” can deliver measurable business outcomes by combining AI with open-source architecture. The strategy centers on practical, composable tools such as natural language search, generative content assistants, and AI-driven personalization, integrated via platforms like Drupal, Mautic, and Apache Unomi.
Steven emphasizes rapid, iterative deployment and outcome-based partnerships instead of traditional project models. Case studies from clients like Pidpa and EASA highlight faster go-to-market times and improved data sovereignty. He argues that open DXPs allow organizations to retain control, scale flexibly, and adapt quickly to emerging AI tools, ensuring long-term digital resilience.
