May 2, 2024
Learn how Higher Ed leverages power of Backdrop CMS for various use cases - from building new sites to upgrades from Drupal 7 before EOL. Topics include business case, selecting hosting platform, authentication, training for users and many other challenges. The presentation will transition into open discussion about using Backdrop in Higher ed and non-profit space.

Growing list of websites that we migrated to Backdrop

April 23, 2024

Why did these teams selected to migrate to BackdropCMS?  Because this CMS that combines power of Drupal with efficiency of Wordpress also can meet their budget.

  • Direct upgrade from Drupal 7, not rebuild, thus preserving existing features of the site without major work
  • Stakeholders were already trained in administration and would just need to learn about the improvements to what they know rather than a brand new system.
  • Cost-effective upgrade process, theming and configuration.

“We have a fiduciary duty to our university. We take stewardship of funds and resources seriously. With Backdrop on Pantheon, we were able to save nearly half a million dollars!"

-Zach Chandler, Director, Research  IT and Innovation at Stanford University

Drupal 7, a trusted and reliable CMS, is reaching its end-of-life on January 5, 2025. While it's served us well, it's time to embrace the future and explore new possibilities. As we prepare to bid farewell to the beloved version, Drupal 7 still supports over 350,000 sites.
