High-level Lift Architecture
There are approximately ten components that make Acquia Lift work. Here are the first three that are essentially Drupal modules.
The Personalize Module
The Personalize Module is the key Drupal module that is effective in giving organizations a personalization framework for building on. It efficiently handles things such as swapping out various pieces of a specific page with the help of JavaScript, providing multiple plugins for extending the system so that it does all types of neat things and for Visitor Context.
The Visitor Actions Module
To boost conversions, it is essential to consider tracking conversions. Thanks to Visitor Actions, you could consider building a flexible framework to track any action whether the server-side or the client-side and a User Interface for allowing non-technical individuals to come up with these in terms of campaigns. It is, however, a slick User Interface and it could be utilized outside of personalization for Marketing Automation, Analytics custom events, and Gamification.
The Acquia Lift Module
The Acquia Lift Module serves two important purposes. It incorporates certain good-to-have but not mandatory User Interface elements for personalization. Moreover, it helps in connecting to the Acquia Lift Service.
The Acquia Lift service
For more sophisticated logic, it is essential to have a service that would make certain decisions for you. That is precisely where Acquia Lift Service becomes essential. This is primarily an API-based web service that handles MVT testing, A/B testing, auto-personalization that is based on specific statistical models, and a host of additional Visitor Context like geo-targeting. The great news is that you could utilize the modules without even subscribing to the specific service.
TruCentric
It was announced recently that the Acquia team has merged with a Toronto-based organization known as TruCentric. They have brought many robust capabilities; however, the first piece seems to be behavior-based targeting. We understand that this implies that you could be learning about visitors’ interests when on the site. Moreover, you could be tying that across devices and sessions for delivering incredibly personalized experiences to all the visitors coming to the site.
