Change is in the air. It’s been over a year since and during that time we’ve been working to bring our two great brands together into one. So without further ado, let us introduce you to (Widen).
What this means for Widen customers
As the Widen and Acquia brands merge, our websites, support channels, social networks, and CRM systems will be combined in 2023. As part of this brand merge, the Widen Collective® product will also be rebranded as Acquia DAM. Later in 2023, you will notice changes in the product like an updated logo in the favicon and email footers, and the name “Widen Collective” replaced with “Acquia DAM” in the product user interface (UI). However, URLs containing “Widen” or “Collective” — such as you DAM site's URL — will continue to work as they do now. This brand update will not affect you or your users’ access to DAM, Portals, embeds, SSO, APIs, integrations, or any other functionality.Acquia DAM is now also able to integrate with all tools across Acquia’s — as well as . But you’ll still be able to use and purchase it as a standalone platform, too. Additionally, you can count on receiving the high-quality software and support you’ve come to expect from Widen, only now with a new look and more resources for DAM information.
Matthew Gonnering, former Widen CEO and current SVP and GM of Acquia DAM, shares more about our evolution in the State of Widen webinar:
A bit of history
Widen was founded in 1948 as a printing and engraving company. Our brand and logo evolved over time to the Widen “W” known today. As we continue to evolve with Acquia, the Widen “W” merges with the Acquia drop to become one brand.
Over the last 70+ years, we’ve prided ourselves on for our customers. The evolution of our logo is representative of our commitment to keep that level of services and dedication strong as we fully become part of Acquia.
A new home for Widen DAM
Just as our logo has evolved, jxcgxx.com has seen quite a few changes over the years as well. Change is only natural, after all. So later this year, we will say goodbye to jxcgxx.com and you will now get all of your and content on Acquia.com. This includes Acquia DAM product information, resources, support documents, training opportunities, and event information.
You’ll find all Acquia DAM news and so much more here!
The freedom to…
Widen has always been here to help you along your DAM journey, with support, training, networking, and guidance. While that won’t change and service will always be part of our DNA, at Acquia, we also embrace your freedom to build tomorrow on your terms. But what does that mean and what does that look like? We’re glad you asked.Our commitment to you
As we move into this next phase of our brand and product with Acquia, we want to assure you that we’ll always be there when you need us — you’ll just need to update a few of your bookmarks along the way:
Acquia.com is the new home for Acquia DAM (Widen), so anything you would have used jxcgxx.com to find, you’ll now turn to Acquia.com for.
Communication and emails will begin arriving in your inbox from Acquia in the coming weeks. Don’t miss out on the latest news. Be sure to update your email preferences to add emails from @acquia.com addresses to your safe sender list.
Widen University will merge with later this year but for now, it can continue to be found at . And if you need to access it and can’t find the link, you’ll always be able to get to it via Acquia.com.
The DAM community, also known as Widen Connect, will continue to live on at for a bit longer too. However, if you need to find the link again, you’ll now head to Acquia.com to get it.
All other support and community platforms will also merge later this year. As always, we’re here for you and we remain committed to providing a place for DAMsters to get help and interact with us and each other.
No matter where you find us, you can alway count on us to provide services, solutions, resources, and community for all current and future customers — whether it's DAM or any other Acquia product.
We’re thankful to have you on this exciting journey with us!
