Product News — xTupleCommerce at DrupalCon Baltimore

Every year DrupalCon is a cornerstone event for xTupleCommerce team members. This year was no exception. Meeting other Drupal developers and introducing them to the xTupleCommerce platform (built on top of Drupal) was serious confirmation that we have built something truly special.

Being part of the Drupal community over the last eight (8) years has led to so many great partnerships and collaborations. And the feedback about xTupleCommerce — powered by what we couldn't resist calling xDruple — continues to be great. If you're a Drupal fan, please get in touch with us, and be the first to hear about some exciting news later this year!
