The State of Drupal Business

Log in to add this to your schedule

In this session we will go trough the state of Drupal business, focusing on consulting, development & services.

We will discuss topics like:

  • Supply and Demand
  • Comparison to other CMS Systems
  • The Size of Companies
  • Business Models & Strategy
  • Mergers & Acquisitions

The state of Drupal business is no insignificant affair. Drupal has grown beyond a niche. Drupal becomes pervasive and it is transforming how people manage content & information.

But in reality, there is much more out there. We all know however, that' I'm not saying anything you don't know already.

Drupal is clearly becoming the new normal when talking about Open Source CMS frameworks, but the state of Drupal business is not necessarily as much about which platform is winning as much as it is about how people are acting in business, interacting and connecting with one another, and what happens as a result - In and outside the community!

We will also have some new numbers to support this session based on this: http://mearra.com/blogs/vesa-palmu/state-drupal-business-europe

We also have done extensive comparisons against other ecosystems (SharePoint, Liferay and EPiServer to mention some) together with top experts from those ecosystems and can use all of that material for this session. More information on this for example from http://mearra.com/blogs/vesa-palmu/drupal-vs-episerver-vs-sharepoint
