4 Ways Drupal Boosts Your Digital Strategy

In an article from ComputerWorld, Howard Baldwin discusses why companies, every day, are choosing to work with open source technology. From mobile apps to CRMs, there are tons of amazing opportunities to choose open source. I want to talk about Drupal and how it can help your company boost its online effectiveness with this technology.

Benefits to Your Web Strategy

Higher Quality. There is a community of about 30,000 developers who contribute to its various modules and core functions daily. With all of this activity, time spent on waiting for a problem with a software bug to be solved is greatly diminished because talented developers are always actively.
Faster Updates. With so many people working on the software, either core or specific modules, updates are processed more quickly, and the latest technology takes a shorter time to release than with proprietary CMS. Drupal 6 updates were released every couple months while most other software takes at least 6 months or longer to be updated. Your business gets access to the latest tools, so you see improvements sooner.
Business Agility. Because technology is updated faster, your company can respond quickly to demands for the website. New modules are released daily, so you have access to the latest tools that cater directly to your company. Companies can adapt their websites quicker to their customers' needs with Drupal.
Mitigates Business Risk. Because it is controlled by the masses and not top management, the best is always released. Only the features that provide value survive, so you can be sure that what you have is tried and true. You can find one solution for your long-term business goals and save a lot of money for investing in other valuable resources.

Summary

Open source technology is becoming the go-to option for website development. Drupal is a robust solution for companies because it provides the latest in web technology and software security. Being agile in today's market as well as mitigating risk makes Drupal extremely attractive for companies.
