Do you feel that a smaller (lesser known) CMS is as good or better than the more popular products?"" The debate between using custom code versus a pre-rolled CMS (content management system) such as WordPress or Drupal is one that takes place in almost every office that has been faced with needing to build a presence on the Web. There are some clear advantages to each of these solutions, as well as several key disadvantages. Ultimately, the choice is up to you the site owner.

Social networking has changed the way we communicate, connect and learn. World events cause peaks and valleys in our social stream; as do our business lives riddled with unexpected events as well as our daily collaboration amongst co-workers. As such, social is increasingly relied upon and continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. How are organizations able to maintain, support, and scale to meet the needs of that activity stream? The expectation remains that these networks will always be available and responsive as these peaks and valleys are encountered. This massive growth of social media has directly impacted IT resources and budgets; increasing volume and variability of requests from different departments potentially using a variety of systems has created an ongoing maintenance and management challenge. Join Acquia for this upcoming webinar where attendees will learn how: To scale with the growth and challenges of managing social networks Other organizations have addressed their own social needs and strengthened their brand Social-as-a-Service, delivered in the Cloud can help address these challenges and relieve IT burdens Jeff Kaplan, who has been at the forefront of exploring the business implications of “on-demand” services, will help us to explore the business challenges posed by social media and facilitate the conversation around how Social-as-a-Service can help address the growing pains of accommodating organizations’ immediate community needs.

How Publishers can use Drupal to build a cost-effective, scalable content platform Join Go Sportn President and Founder Ned Desmond as he walks through how and why he built bassmaster.com on Drupal distribution OpenPublish, running on Acquia Managed Cloud. Bassmaster.com is the website for the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, or B.A.S.S., with more than a half-million members. Bassmaster.com is the digital home for many annual bass angler tournaments, where members connect, share results and talk about the sport of bass fishing. In this webinar, Ned will walk the audience through the process Bassmaster.com went through to select Drupal, OpenPublish and Acquia Managed Cloud. He will discuss his CMS, design and hosting requirements for the site and why they ultimately choose the Drupal distribution OpenPublish developed by Phase2 Technology. Additionally, he'll discuss the process of selecting a hosting provider for the site and why they chose Acquia Managed Cloud. Ned will share the lessons his team learned along the way while building a high traffic publishing site on open source Drupal. This webinar is intended for business decision-makers and site owners.

MongoDB -- from "humongous" -- is an open source, non-relational, document-oriented database, supported in Drupal 7. The goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). Nosh Petigara of 10gen, the company that develops and supports MongoDB, will introduce the basic functionality of MongoDB and common deployment strategies. Following this introduction, Doug Green of Examiner.com, a top 100 North American website, will talk about how Examiner.com pioneered the use of MongoDB and Drupal to serve millions of dynamic pages (no page caching) every day. This session will teach you how and why you should use several new MongoDB-based modules created by Examiner.com to speed up your site. We'll cover using MongoDB field storage to read and write complete documents in a single query, using MongoDB watchdog to store application logs with counts and automated rollover at virtually no system cost, using MongoDB block for sites with many blocks and complicated visibility rules, and using MongoDB sessions and queues because these are extremely fast. Learn how to query using Field API or directly in MongoDB and how to write great NoSQL queries and create indexes.

As IT organizations increasingly face the challenges of managing the complexity of delivering superior application performance and reliability across a disparate range of technology and deployment environments, the Cloud has emerged as a cost-effective means to build virtual data centers. But Infrastructure platforms like Amazon Web Services don't preclude companies from needing experienced systems administrators to build and manage their applications. In order to address this gap, companies such as Acquia, have begun providing PaaS, Platform as a Service offerings, which includes not only the physical hardware, but also provides an expertly managed, application appropriate stack. Which means organizations can focus more singularly on their applications. Jeff Kaplan, who has been at the forefront of exploring the business implications of “on-demand” services, will lead a discussion with Bryan House, the VP Product Marketing at Acquia, around how Acquia's offering of a Drupal Platform as a Service is helping IT organizations meet this challenge. Using the open-source WCMS, Drupal, Acquia's Cloud platform and specific customer case studies, participants will learn what PaaS really means to an organization in terms of both delivering improved performance while reducing costs.

Social business is no longer a nice to have, but now a business imperative to improve customer engagement, build loyal partner networks, and improve internal collaboration. All of the most popular web sites on the Internet today — meaning the most visited and most engaging — are either social networks or online communities. It is now a leading trend that these social elements take place within a company or organisations own online space, providing a number of user and stakeholder benefits. Join BrightLemon and Acquia for a one-hour webinar where we will discuss what the key components of these online communities are and how they contribute to creating a strong, engaging online network which grows organically. This presentation will discuss: * Key components and best practices in building communities of value * Benefits and value of the community to the business stake holder and end user * Case study examples of these what online communities can achieve * Benefits of using Drupal to build your community with long-term goals in mind

Twitter now handles over a billion tweets every week. With over 200 million users, and almost half a million new users created every day, the power of Twitter is critical for any community to harness in order to ensure success.

Acquia’s Commons is the easiest way to deploy a Drupal community site. There are over 170 modules in Drupal.org that relate to Twitter - how do you know which ones will work best for you? Do you want to send status updates to Twitter? Or maybe follow topics or accounts from Twitter in your community site to stay up to date on key issues important to your community? This webinar surveys useful Twitter features that incorporate well into Commons communities. Attendees will learn: * how to install and configure Twitter modules on an existing Commons site * how to display Twitter feeds * how to set up and manage which content types post automatically to Twitter

One of the most popular trends in web development is the integration of Websites with enterprise business systems to deliver business value beyond marketing and lead generation. In this webinar we will showcase four use cases for integrating Drupal with Microsoft Dynamics: Web retail, Staff Point Of Sale, Web CRM profile, and customer feedback management. We will demonstrate two integrations. The first is Web CRM profile integration and customer feedback management with Dynamics CRM, for APQC. APQC is the trusted leader in performance improvement. APQC is a membership based site with access to the world's largest database of benchmarks and best practices. The second integration is the web retail for Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, and the staff point of sales integration. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is a brewing company based in Milton, Delaware. The brewery is prominently featured in the Discovery channel series Brew Masters, is one of the top 20 microbreweries in North America, and thousands of people visit their brewery for tours each year. Their online store as well as their point of sale terminals in the brewery are powered by Drupal with data controlled entirely from Microsoft Dynamics, requiring little to no human management of products on the Drupal side. In this webinar the developers will discuss how to integrate Microsoft Dynamics with Drupal to power their Ubercart commerce system from Great Plains controlled product database, send Ubercart orders back to Great Plains as invoices (Documents), receive products from Great Plains and create attributes/options from SKUs, create role based pricing mapped to Great Plains product price levels, and sync Drupal/Ubercart data with the Great Plains backend.
