Accessibility, Usability Deadlines have been set for the implementation
of the accessibility and usability guidelines.
Information Management We have become storing tremendous amounts
of data. But some of us are storing this data in
ways that is costly to maintain.
Collaboration Our internal systems are failing to be
collaborative. It’s difficult to find any
information that is require.
Constraints Every day we are faced with time and budget
constraints. And it looks as thought these
constraints are abut to get much tighter.
Today, we are expected to do much more with a lot less. To achieve this, we
must work smart.

drupal Content Management System
Many people call Drupal a content
management system because it can store and
display content for websites.
Content Management Framework
Drupal is more closely described as a content
management framework. It is an empty canvas
that can be configured to meet any information
management requirements.

Cost - Free Drupal is free. Drupal modules are free.
Drupal templates are also free.
Accessibility - High The Drupal Association has committed to
ensuring that all core features are WCAG 2.0
and ATAG 2.0 compliant.
Templates - Versatile The layered system flow of Drupal allows us to
update the visual component on our systems
without changing the business logic.
Semantic Data - Great Built-in taxonomies allow for content
categorization and tagging. Content that is
tagged is much easier to find.
Content Management Frameworks have changed the way organizations manage
their websites. We no longer depend on low-level programmers to maintain our
Internet presence.

Collaborative The modular nature of Drupal allows us to
share our code and templates across
organizations. No need to build anything twice.
Extendable There are 9,500 modules that extend the
Drupal core. Popular functionality is very well
support.
Flexible Drupal starts as a blank canvas and can evolve
into any type of system. It can be a tool for
managing our websites, or a data entry and
reporting system.

Connotation Open source still has a negative connotation
within some departments. From time to time,
we meet an executive who won’t even consider.
Policy and Procurement Very few government policies and processes
have been written on the implementation of
open source technology.
Learning Curve The learning curve for Drupal developers is
long, and it is not covered in most post-
graduate programs like Java or .NET.
Open source technology still carries with it negative stereotypes and poor
connotation.
Disadvantages
