DESCRIPTION
In this session, we walk through Acquia's packaged business solutions, Drupal Gardens and Drupal Commons. Drupal Gardens is our Drupal as a service platform, built on Drupal 7. We will demo the latest features in Gardens, including Views, Webforms and image galleries, and discuss how to quickly build microsites on a turnkey deployment platform. In addition, we will demonstrate Drupal Commons - our pre-assembled Drupal distribution for community sites. Using Commons, organizations can build customer support, developer community and social networking sites faster, with the flexibility to customize the application to meet business requirements. Each of these solutions helps businesses get to value faster with Drupal, while eliminating the costs associated with proprietary alternatives. This session is intended for business users and decision makers.TRANSCRIPT
