Drupal + melt + Acquia = ∞
Your platform, your partner, and your foundation for endless possibilities.
Trust in the power of Drupal
Drupal is the leading open source enterprise-class Web CMS. Who else uses it? Tens of thousands of developers. Well over a million websites. 38% of the Fortune 50! Here's why...
Power and Flexibility
The Economist, The White House, Tesla Motors, the BBC, Pfizer, Harvard University, the governments of Australia and France, and Time Inc. all trust Drupal to deliver their web experiences to the world. This is in no small part due to the powerful, customizable workflows and flexibility it provides to designers, developers, IT professionals and content authors.
Security
Drupal is a proven, secure CMS that stands up to the most daunting threats on the internet. The Drupal Security Team consists of dozens of experts who confidentially receive notices of threats from the global community, validate them and respond to educate users while fixing the issues. This approach ensures that threats don’t go unnoticed, unacknowledged or unresolved.
Performance at Scale
Drupal serves up huge enterprises with constant load, like Pfizer and GE. It also powers spikey sites for the GRAMMY Awards and the NBC Olympics. Tons of ever-growing content? No problem. Even if you have 100s of authors contributing content, Drupal is built to perform at scale.
A program for enterprise needs.
Drupal is more than capable of handling small to large one-off sites. It is also a powerful, scalable platform for a large portfolio of sites. But software alone doesn't solve for the human factors. It takes experienced partners, like meltmedia and Acquia, to set you up for ongoing success at scale. Below are key highlights of our best practices approach to enterprise program management.
-
Process and Change Management
A platform rollout inherently requires changes to how you do business. Roles and workflows will change. New processes will be defined. meltmedia will work with you to create new processes, define roles, and help you manage change and minimize organizational disruption.
-
Roadmap and Backlog Management
meltmedia manages the entire program by maintaining a living roadmap, as well as a prioritized backlog. This approach allows for long-term visibility to all stakeholders while still providing flexibility. Our proactive management allows us to handle multiple sites with frequent releases, while coordinating global releases that impact the whole platform.
-
Governance
Often the intended benefits and efficiencies from rolling out a shared platform are perceived to be at odds with the individual needs and “independent streak” of some stakeholders. It can be difficult to determine which design approaches and features make sense to prioritize when stakeholders get squeaky. A governance board is essential to act as the authoritative clearing house for validating stakeholder requests against the “greater good.”
-
Data Driven Iteration
Measurement is essential to improving results. And acting on those metrics can only be achieved if you are able to divine insights from your metrics. meltmedia works with you to make sure the proper tools and tagging are in place to give you a clear picture of how your site/implementation is performing. Then we work with you to take action based on your insights.
