Where: online publishing, media, public policy, advocacy and open government clients
Why Publishers Hate CMS
Too many options - none of them work for their needs.
Commercial solutions are expensive, complex to implement and inflexible
Open source CMS platforms are hard to figure out, support, maintain, customize
Homegrown solutions are untested, un-exercised, repetitive, costly and inflexibly
CMS expertise is hard to find and expensive to either contract or hire in house
Projects often miss the mark
Publishers need an open source “turn-key” solution that has the latest tools ready to go.
Phase2 and the Calais team are working on a way to make all of this MUCH simpler using Drupal.
What Publishers Say They Want Most
Drive traffic and attract new readers
Improve registration / conversion
Encourage user engagement / community participation
Discover new ways to monetize contentHave the flexibility to rapidly launch new products
Improve staff and operational efficiencyStandardize technology on lower cost/open source
What Are Drupal Distributions?Distributions are products made from (and are just)
Drupal
They provide open-source alternatives to proprietary solutions
End-users need total solutions, not just tools they have to piece together themselves
Developers don’t want to repeat their work
Most organizations have neither the time nor the resources to build custom systems nor re-invent implementations
Drupal is leading the way on distributions because of its flexibility as a platform and not just a CMS
Something Unique for Publishers
