- 6. Defini7on Drupal is a completely free, open source content management system that many intelligent companies are using today to provide for their needs. Drupal's many features and add-‐ons allow it to be used for a variety of website needs; perhaps for marke7ng, internal communica7ons, informa7onal websites, or for social networking purposes. If a needed feature is not currently available, it has a proven community of developers who can be paid to do the work for you. Drupal's access control system means that it can be easily applied to your organiza7onal structure. Overall, Drupal is a good choice for today's companies of any size because it is free, easy, and incredibly flexible.
