What is Drupal?

At most organizations, the CMS situation is like a jungle

Today, almost every organization has many websites

Downside of proprietary CMS products

Info locked in silos

Slow to innovate

Hard to find talent

Security

Cost/ROI

Open Source is a Better Way

1. Freedom to run the program

2. Freedom to study the program

3. Freedom to modify the program

4. Freedom to re-distribute the program

Drupal is freedom

Open Source

Collaboration

Community

Innovation

Drupal is innovation

Drupal is assembled web experiences

Drupal lowers costs
