Who is arocom?

arocom is an owner-managed Drupal agency from Ostfildern-Kemnat near Stuttgart, Germany. Since founder Axel Roth started the company in 2012, we have delivered more than 160 Drupal projects — from multilingual corporate portals through accessible publishing platforms to API-first headless architectures for complex editorial workflows. We work exclusively with Drupal because we believe open-source platforms backed by a global community are more sustainable than proprietary systems with vendor lock-in.

Our team is small (8–10 members), international, and cross-disciplinary: Drupal architects, frontend developers, project managers, and an in-house testing/QA team. arocom is part of the Schöne Töchter group (alongside 21TORR, hauser lacour, and Logic Joe) — an alliance of independent specialist agencies that tackle complex digital projects together.

Topics we speak about

• Drupal as an enterprise CMS: technology trends, upgrades from Drupal 7/8/9 to Drupal 11, migration strategies, security updates.
• Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): how websites must be structured so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite them as sources — and how GEO differs from classic SEO.
• AI integration in open-source CMS: vector search, AI-driven content workflows, semantic tagging systems, RAG for Drupal.
• Accessibility under WCAG 2.1 AA / EAA: what the European Accessibility Act means for website operators from June 28, 2025, and how to make complex Drupal platforms practically compliant.
• Publishing platforms for media houses: editorial workflows, multi-channel publishing, paywall models, and content personalization.
• Agency switch & code handover: how Drupal projects can be transferred from one agency to another in a structured way — with code review, documentation, and a Platform Check.
