INTEGRATING PERCOLATE WITH AEM FOR HP
HP is the world’s leading personal systems and printing company, which creates technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere.
HP needed help integrating their new AEM 6.5 Enterprise environment with Percolate - a tool that manages the workflow for marketing creative review with AEM 6.5 Enterprise environment for final approved content.

UP FOR A CHALLENGE
HP needed a Percolate to AEM integration that would allow marketers and other content creators to push final marketing assets from Percolate into AEM to be used by regional teams.
HP also used an internal middleware to orchestrate the integration and programmatically create assets and content inside AEM.
The biggest challenge was that the 3 tools Percolate, Middleware, and AEM were configured and developed in parallel based on business requirements, which involves multiple dependencies and lots of elements to sync up towards achieving the desired result.
Another challenge (from a more technical perspective) was connecting the middleware with AEM using an OAuth 2.0 Server to Server integration.
HOW WE SOLVED
Our team completed the following:
- Implemented new folder structure for assets, which matched the same structure for Percolate
- Created new metadata schemas for HP's various assets types
- Developed new tag taxonomy
- Created folder structure and templates for experience fragments
- Developed OAuth 2.0 Server to Server integration
- Documented OOB API Endpoints and overall workflow to move assets over to AEM
END RESULT
HP now has Percolate integrated with AEM through their Middleware and is able to create and transfer assets into AEM that way. They are using this for Experience Fragments creation as well, which is being utilized in a follow-up project for Social Media Post creation.
HP is very happy with the solution in place and continues to engage with us for follow-up work.
