Drupal

6. Defini7on
Drupal
is
a
completely
free,
open
source
content
management
system
that
many
intelligent
companies
are
using
today
to
provide
for
their
needs.
Drupal's
many
features
and
add-­‐ons
allow
it
to
be
used
for
a
variety
of
website
needs;
perhaps
for
marke7ng,
internal
communica7ons,
informa7onal
websites,
or
for
social
networking
purposes.
If
a
needed
feature
is
not
currently
available,
it
has
a
proven
community
of
developers
who
can
be
paid
to
do
the
work
for
you.
Drupal's
access
control
system
means
that
it
can
be
easily
applied
to
your
organiza7onal
structure.
Overall,
Drupal
is
a
good
choice
for
today's
companies
of
any
size
because
it
is
free,
easy,
and
incredibly
flexible.
