Nara, Japan – Sharp Europe detailed how it built a digital infrastructure for one of the world's most complex B2B operations on Drupal, managing 120,000 enterprise customers across 48 countries with 17 sites in 19 languages.
The electronics giant generates €13.5 billion in annual revenue, with 40% coming from B2B operations that serve vastly different audiences – from 110,000 small enterprises requiring low-touch transactions to mid-market companies needing sophisticated engagement.
"Big, complex, broad, deep," said Jason Cort, who leads European product management and marketing for Sharp. "That's what our martech stack has to support."

Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.

Everyone’s got their thing. For some, it’s baking. Others, gardening. Me? I like to take a modified Honda Accord, drive over 100 mph, and swerve between cars, almost killing entire families, babies, men, women, whoever.
That’s my thing. Gets my balls rolling. Sometimes I’ll almost kill a family by swerving in front of them at 125 mph with just barely enough room to squeeze in, and then I’ll immediately swerve all the way over to the right and get off at the exit. I could have just slowed down and changed lanes and calmly exited, not almost killing anyone, but then I wouldn’t have almost killed an innocent family, and almost killing them is what gives me something to do when I’m bored.
By the way, I’m not trying to actually kill one. That’s not my thing at all. If that’s what you’re getting from this, then I don’t know what you’re reading or how you thought that, but you’re totally off base.
When it was announced that leftist Catherine Connolly had won a record-breaking vote to become the new Uachtarán na hÉireann, or President of Ireland, the pearl-clutching headlines from the British right-wing press were foreseeable. Conservative columnists seemingly vied for the most hysterical. A Spectator columnist mildly wrote, ‘Catherine Connolly’s election is a low for Ireland.’ […]
