Editor's Notes

  • #6 Get data insights to guide user experience design, Drupal development, and enrollment marketing strategy.
  • #7 70% of the top 100 universities use Drupal. Here at Mediacurrent, we’ve spent the last 13 years helping some of the best-known higher ed institutions in the US exceed the performance expectations of their Drupal platform. With this collective experience, the Mediacurrent team has learned many lessons about the unique nature of higher ed institutions.
  • #9 This sounds awfully similar to the Devops description before? Let me clarify.
