[Request a consultation](https://metadrop.net/en/contact)[Explore](#scroll-to-content) Metadrop builds secure Drupal enterprise intranets: **integrated employee hubs** that unify HR, ERP and CRM systems, single sign-on and corporate knowledge in one accessible place. ## What is a corporate intranet? A **corporate intranet** is a private, secure web platform where employees access company services, documents, news and tools from a single place. It replaces scattered drives, email threads and disconnected apps with one destination. - A modern enterprise intranet is the **digital workplace**: news, directories, document management, forms, and links to every internal system. - Built on Drupal, it is **fully owned and licence-free**, with no per-seat subscription, no vendor lock-in, and no recurring SaaS fees. - It serves a *diverse, multilingual workforce* across offices, countries and devices from one governed source of truth. Planning or replacing a corporate intranet? Tell us about your platform and your integrations. We will scope a free consultation with no commitment. [Request a consultation](#contact) ## Why Drupal for an enterprise intranet? ### Granular permission system Drupal's role and access model shows the right content to the right teams, departments and regions, down to individual fields. ### Open-source and licence-free There are no per-user costs as headcount grows, so budget goes into capability rather than licences. ### Built to integrate Drupal is an *API-first* platform that connects cleanly to the corporate systems you already run. ### Secure and compliant by design Hardened access control, audit trails and a mature security team sit behind Drupal core. ### Accessible and multilingual The platform is *WCAG*-ready and proven across 30+ languages for global rollouts. ### You own the platform You get independent technical governance instead of a closed product you rent. ## Integrations and single sign-on Your intranet is only useful when it connects to everything employees already use. Metadrop integrates Drupal intranets with the systems that run your organization. - **Single sign-on (SSO)** via *SAML*, *OAuth2*, *LDAP* and *Active Directory*, including *Microsoft / Azure AD*, so employees log in once with their corporate identity. - **HR systems.** Directories, org charts and onboarding workflows sync from your HRIS. - **ERP and document systems.** *SAP*, product and document libraries and enterprise file stores (including *Microsoft SharePoint*) surface inside the intranet. - **CRM and marketing.** *Salesforce*, *Pardot* and similar platforms connect to forms and lead flows. - **Collaboration tools.** *Microsoft Teams*, *Slack* and calendar systems link into the daily workflow. - **Enterprise search.** Unified, faceted search runs across intranet content and connected document repositories with [Solr / Elasticsearch](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/solr-elastic-search-drupal). For the engineering detail behind these connections, see our [Drupal integration services](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/integrations). Need to connect your intranet to HR, ERP or SSO? We scope the integrations that matter and connect them to one governed hub. [Talk to our team](#contact) ## Roles and permission management ### Roles per department & region Define roles for communications, HR, IT, local editors and leadership. ### Page, section and field visibility Keep sensitive content restricted to the right audience at every level. ### Moderation and workflows Route documents through draft, review and publish states with full audit history. ### Delegated editing Local teams manage their own areas while central governance stays intact. ## Employee experience and personalization ### Personalized landing "My Links" and role-based dashboards put each employee's most-used tools first. ### Clear information architecture People find documents, news and colleagues fast, not after five searches. ### Mobile and desktop strategy A focused mobile experience serves frontline staff; a richer desktop hub supports office work. ### Higher adoption and engagement An intuitive, relevant hub gets used daily instead of ignored. ## Accessibility and inclusive design - **WCAG-aligned** interfaces so every employee, including those using assistive technology, can work without barriers. - **Neurodiverse-friendly design** with clear hierarchy, predictable navigation and reduced cognitive load. - Accessibility validated through our [accessibility audit service](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal-audit/accessibility) before rollout. ## Scalability for the enterprise - **Grows with headcount**, with no per-seat licence penalty as you add users, teams or countries. - **Multilingual and multi-region**, proven across 30+ languages and 50+ countries. - **High-traffic ready**, with caching, CDN and performance architecture for large, busy workforces. ## Security, compliance and data ownership - **Your data stays in your platform**, self-hosted or in your chosen enterprise cloud rather than a third-party SaaS silo. - **ENS certified**, with a proven track record on *GDPR*, *WCAG* and *NIS2* compliance. - **Hardened security** through password policies, access controls, audit logging and proactive monitoring. - **Drupal Silver Certified Partner** with 15+ years building mission-critical enterprise platforms. ## Our experience - Redesigned the **global intranet** ("The Hub") of a 13,000-employee specialty-chemicals multinational across 30 countries, delivering a new information architecture, a mobile-versus-desktop content strategy, an intuitive search UI and "My Links" personalization. - Implemented **Microsoft single sign-on via SAML** for an enterprise Drupal intranet running on enterprise cloud infrastructure. - Integrated a multinational home-appliances manufacturer's platform with **SharePoint document sync over Azure AD OAuth2**, plus verification-based private document access. - Delivered **multilingual enterprise search** across site content and connected document repositories with Apache Solr for a global industrial group. - Built **WCAG 2.1 remediation and SSO authentication flows** for a European corporate platform, with continuous accessibility auditing.

Drupal gives you a licence-free, fully customizable platform you own outright, with granular permissions, deep integration capability and no per-seat fees. You adapt it to your processes instead of forcing your processes into a closed product. - ### Drupal intranet vs SharePoint, what's the difference? SharePoint is a strong document store tied to the Microsoft ecosystem. A Drupal intranet is an open, integration-first hub that connects to SharePoint, HR, ERP, CRM and SSO at once, with full control over information architecture, branding, accessibility and roles. Many organizations run both, using Drupal as the employee-facing hub and SharePoint as one connected document source. - ### Can a Drupal intranet integrate with our HR, ERP and CRM systems? Yes. We connect Drupal intranets to HRIS directories, SAP and ERP systems, Salesforce and other CRMs, plus collaboration tools like Teams and Slack, all surfaced inside one interface. - ### Does it support single sign-on (SAML, OAuth, LDAP)? Yes. We implement SSO via SAML, OAuth2, LDAP and Active Directory, including Microsoft / Azure AD, so employees authenticate once with their corporate identity. - ### Is the intranet secure and compliant? Yes. Metadrop is ENS certified with a proven GDPR, WCAG and NIS2 track record. Your data stays in your own platform with hardened access control, audit logging and proactive monitoring. - ### How much does a Drupal intranet cost? Cost depends on the number of integrations, user roles, languages and the level of custom design. Because Drupal is licence-free, there are no recurring per-seat fees, so your investment goes into capability.
