Enterprise Drupal Strategies (Keynote)

Adopting a new technology platform requires change. If you’re a large organization with lots of different stakeholders, the impact of that change can magnify quickly. For large, multifaced organizations like colleges, universities, museums, and media companies looking to adopt Drupal, the key to a successful deployment often has as much to do with having a well-articulated strategic vision as it does with having a well-architected platform.

In this session, Tiffany Farriss will examine how different organizations and institutions have chosen to approach large-scale Drupal deployments, and the different challenges face by each one.

She’ll discuss how to identify key stakeholders and ensure they’re part of the process, as well as deal with questions of capacity-building, governance, and building a culture of collaboration that can help organizations take ownership of their Drupal platform and extend it long after the work of the original developers is done.
