and knowledge gathered from the website/project and the
project can progress according to your current budget.

10. Reporting and analytics

11. Drupal provides several reports about your site and it can be
integrated with external solutions for Web Analytics (Google
Analytics, Piwik, etc.) and Customer Analytics (MixPanel,
KissMetrics, etc.) to get the most comprehensive information
about your site's usage and traffic.

12. Is Drupal Secure?

13. There are hundred of thousands of Drupal websites and applications,
with thousands of developers working on them on a daily basis
indentifying and addressing security issues.
Drupal takes security very seriously and has a dedicated team that
has a proven track record in dealing with security issues
professionally and efficiently.
In general, open source software is as secure, or more secure than
commercial software. In fact, the increased security of using open
source was cited as one reason the White House switched to Drupal.

14. Enterprise-class
software

15. More than a content management system, Drupal is also a
framework for building enterprise-class web applications used by
top brands, government agencies, higher education, non-profits,
NGOs, and many of the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies.
Being scalable, reliable, manageable, interoperable and secure
and having qualified resources available, Drupal fills the six key
factors to be considered enterprise-class software.
Acquia (company owned by Dries Buytaert, founder and lead
developer of Drupal) was named a Leader in the 2014 Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management. Being Acquia
focused exclusively on Drupal, that makes Drupal a leading
enterprise-class product for Web Content Management.

17. Content management
Manage content with an easy-to-use web interface and WYSIWYG
editing. Drupal can handle countless content types (e.g. articles,
blog posts, events, products) with optional workflow, revision
control and content syndication. Drupal's content management
features makes it easy to create and manage your site.
Organize and Find
Organizing and finding content is easy with Drupal no matter how
much content you have. Drupal has a built in search system that
lets you spend less time looking for information and focus on
getting things done.

18. Responsive design
If your website needs to be optimised for mobile, Drupal can detect
the screen resolution of the device being used and serve a specific
display theme for that device.
Flexible structure
With Drupal you can create and edit menus that can be used to
configure site structure as required. Contents can be associated
with multiple menus and multiple categories or tags.

19. Users, roles and permissions
Drupal allows you to manage user accounts and user roles. Users
can be assigned one or more roles and you can define permissions
for each role, allowing access to different functions and areas
within your website and tight control over who can create, view,
administer, publish and interact with content on your site.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
A Drupal website can be fully tuned for search engines, using search
engine friendly URLs, customisable page metadata and an
automatically generated XML sitemap.

20. Social features
Drupal modules provide social interaction with polls, blog posts,
forums, comments and social networking integration tools, to help
you engage with a wider audience. Content sharing and automatic
content publication on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks
is also possible.

In Drupal all content is separated from the presentation layer,
allowing the design and layout of your website to be customised
using HTML and CSS compliant with W3C standards.
