Sites leveraging social and community concepts...
Why Drupal?
More than 250,000 other companies across the world use Drupal to manage their Websites. Examples of some of the famous companies that have disclosed use of Drupal are:
- Sony BMG Music
- Warner Music Group (WMG)
- SForbes
- Harvard University
- Time Warner's (TWX) AOL
- Amnesty International
- SEObook
- Ecademy
- Nike
- Sun Microsystems
The rationale for recommending Drupal is:
- architecture of Drupal and separation of presentation layer from logic layer
- search friendly capabilities built in (part of collaboration with Google)
- large opensource community to leverage common modules that may be necessary in the future
- light weight architecture and scalability to support large number of visits
Paul Albert of Cornell University shared a great presentation that compares Drupal to Fatwire (a proprietary, enterprise WCMS), and that provides an excellent overview of how other universities are using Drupal
If you want to bring Drupal into your enterprise, you should watch the video of Paul's presentation below. Highly recommended
