- Drupal in Australia: Insights into how large organisations are using the platform - in pdf format (260kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). A Bienalto Whitepaper May 2012. "... Drupal is powered by more than half a million people in more than 200 countries. Nearly 1000 members of the Drupal community are direct contributors to Drupal 7 core, and thousands more develop contributed modules. Drupal easily holds its own against other popular open-source platforms like Joomla and WordPress. All three of these content management systems are written in the PHP programming language, are licensed under the free GNU General Public License and use the MySQL database to hold and manage the content on a website – yet they are being used in very different ways by different people... To gain a greater understanding of how Drupal is used in the Australian digital marketplace, Bienalto spoke to a number of local organisations about their use of the CMS platform. These organisations include: - Suncorp - ABC Commercial - Victorian Department of Justice In lengthy interviews, the people behind these Drupal implementations explained the rationale for choosing the platform, the challenges they encountered along the way, the experience of ongoing management, and future plans for the platform..."

- Why Big Sites Run Drupal
- By Jessica Meyer Maria. Government Technology, April 26, 2012. "For the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA), the decision to dump its aging content management system (CMS) was easy. Running 65 state government websites on two different versions of proprietary software — Vignette 6 and 7, one of which is no longer supported — had become cumbersome and costly. And moving all sites to Vignette 8 was too much of a 'force fit,' said state CTO Steve Nichols. Instead of buying another proprietary package, Georgia chose an open solution that's quickly gaining favor among state and federal agencies. 'As we dug in, all the obvious best choices were open source,' said Nichols. The strongest of those contenders turned out to be Drupal, which powers Whitehouse.gov and other key federal government sites..."

- Strategic Content Management
- by Jonathan Kahn. A List Apart Magazine, September 7, 2010. "Trying to fix an organization’s content problems by installing a content management system (CMS) is like trying to save a marriage by booking a holiday. We know that a successful web project needs a content strategy—but when it comes to the CMS, we stop thinking strategically. Despite all the talk about user-centered design, we rarely consider the user experience of the editorial team—the people who implement the content strategy. We don't design a CMS, we install it..."

- 10 Reasons Why Drupal Is the Best CMS for SEO
- by Ben Finklea. ClickZ, September 20, 2010 . "Drupal, the open source content management system (CMS) that runs WhiteHouse.gov, MTV Europe, and The Economist, is a very powerful system that can be used for large, complex sites, and it's the best platform that exists today for SEO. I've seen clients triple their traffic within a few weeks of switching from a lesser platform. Drupal's built-in tools for automating SEO on massive amounts of content, along with granular control that gives you absolute power over every single site element, put it head and shoulders above the rest, including Joomla and WordPress. Additionally, Drupal is the most scalable, configurable system, and major improvements in usability will soon shorten the learning curve for new users and developers. Here's why Drupal is the best..."

- A new model for public sector open source adoption using Drupal
- by Jeff Walpole. GovFresh, May 25, 2010. "The debate over whether (OSS) is good for government is over. A close look will reveal the discussion has moved on to one of two things: 1) the necessary, but subsequent implementation questions to be sorted out – security, regulation, procurement, etc. or 2) organizational confusion about how to take the first step. In either case, the precedent of value has been established both within government and elsewhere to allow us to now move on to the natural next set of issues..."
