[Book an enterprise consultation](#contact) ## Why Drupal for enterprise Drupal is the *enterprise-grade* open-source CMS behind some of the world's most demanding corporate platforms. Organizations choose it when a generic CMS cannot handle the scale, governance, and integration needs of a global business. For enterprise and corporate digital estates it is, in most cases, **the best CMS for a large corporate website**. - **Built for scale**: proven under high traffic with *Redis*, *Varnish*, CDN, and *BigPipe* caching layers, serving millions of requests across global markets without performance failures. - **Multisite by design**: run dozens of country and brand sites from one governed platform, with shared components and consistent corporate identity. - **Multilingual at any depth**: native translation workflows support 20+ languages and asymmetric per-market content out of the box. - **No license cost, full ownership**: *open-source* means no vendor lock-in and a transparent, auditable codebase compared with proprietary platforms such as *Adobe Experience Manager*. - **Security and compliance ready**: a mature security team, regular core releases, and a track record meeting *GDPR*, *WCAG*, and *NIS2* obligations. ## Enterprise Drupal services We deliver corporate platforms **end to end**: strategy, design, development, migration, and long-term support, all under one accountable partner. ### [Multisite & Multibrand Platforms](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/drupal-multisite) Consolidate independent country and brand sites into a governed *multisite* estate with shared design systems and central control, often on *Acquia Cloud Site Factory*, launching new market sites in days. ### Multilingual Corporate Websites 20+ languages governed centrally, with symmetric and asymmetric translation, per-language menus, hreflang, language-specific access controls, and per-market SEO built in. ### [CRM, ERP & Enterprise Integrations](https://metadrop.net/en/services/ai-automation) Integrate *Salesforce/Pardot*, *SAP* PIM, *Workday* HR, *SharePoint*, and *Microsoft SSO (SAML)* so the website becomes part of the enterprise stack, with a single source of truth. ### [Search, AI & Performance](https://metadrop.net/en/events/drupalcamp-2025-drupal-and-ai-play-together) Enterprise search with *Apache Solr* and *Acquia Search*, AI-assisted content workflows and chatbots, and performance tuned for high-traffic corporate sites. ### [Zero-Downtime Migration & Upgrades](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/upgrade) Move from Drupal 7, 9, or 10 to Drupal 11 with zero downtime and full business continuity, simplifying architecture and reducing technical debt during the upgrade. ### [Maintenance, Support & SLA](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/maintenance) Defined SLAs and proactive monitoring, preventive and corrective maintenance, security patching, and 24/7 platform stability, extending to secure corporate intranets and employee portals. ## Tech leadership as a service: independent technical governance Most enterprises need an *independent expert partner* who governs quality, reduces risk, and translates technical constraints into clear business decisions. That is Metadrop's **Tech Leadership as a Service**: objective technical governance over your platform and your other providers. - **Independent oversight**: we audit and enforce *Drupal best practices*, mandatory code reviews, and CI/CD discipline across internal and third-party teams. - **Risk translated to business language**: we give non-technical stakeholders clear, informed choices instead of jargon. - **Compliance built in**: strict *GDPR* compliance, thorough *WCAG* accessibility, and *NIS2* readiness on every platform we govern. - **Orchestration across your ecosystem**: we coordinate smoothly alongside your internal IT and existing vendors, keeping a complex digital estate cohesive and stable. - **15+ years and Drupal Silver Certified Partner**: ENS-certified, with an enterprise track record across manufacturing, chemicals, energy, and global services. ## Solutions for enterprise estates The platform patterns behind most of our enterprise engagements. ### [Drupal Multisite Solutions: Manage Multiple Websites Efficiently](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/drupal-multisite) Metadrop designs Drupal Multisite platforms so brand networks, regional teams, and publishing groups can run many websites from one shared, centrally governed codebase. ### [Drupal Enterprise Intranets](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/drupal-enterprise-intranets) Metadrop builds secure Drupal enterprise intranets integrated with HR, ERP, CRM and SSO — accessible employee hubs for collaboration, knowledge management and granular role-based access. ### [Drupal Search Optimization with Solr / Elastic Search](https://metadrop.net/en/solutions/solr-elastic-search-drupal) Metadrop integrates Apache Solr and Elasticsearch with Drupal, delivering faceted search, multilingual indexing, and high-performance results for large-scale content platforms. ## Services for enterprise governance The services that keep a governed, multi-brand estate secure and current. ### [Module development and third-party integrations with Drupal](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/integrations) Metadrop connects Drupal to your CRM, ERP, payment, and marketing stack — Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, BBVA virtual POS, Workday, and Keepeek — with custom modules and secure, GDPR-compliant APIs. ### [Drupal Upgrade Services: Drupal 8, 9, or 10 to Drupal 11](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/upgrade) Metadrop's EU-based, Drupal Silver Certified team upgrades Drupal 8, 9 and 10 sites to Drupal 11 — a fixed-fee analysis, a written plan, and content, integrations and SEO carried over intact. ### [Drupal maintenance & support services](https://metadrop.net/en/services/drupal/maintenance) Independent, EU-based Drupal maintenance and support keeping mission-critical platforms secure, compliant and evolving — preventive, corrective and evolutive care under one governance model with monthly written reporting. ### [Drupal AI integration: search, personalization & automation](https://metadrop.net/en/services/ai-automation) Practical Drupal AI integration: semantic search, personalization, chatbots and workflow automation.

Giacomo Bisoffi Head of Global Digital Data & Platforms ## Frequently asked questions - ### Why is Drupal a good choice for enterprise? Drupal is open-source, secure, and built to scale. It powers global corporate platforms with multisite estates, 20+ languages, and CRM/ERP integrations while avoiding license costs and vendor lock-in. It is consistently among the best CMS choices for large corporate websites. - ### Is Drupal good for high-traffic websites? Yes. With Redis, Varnish, CDN, and BigPipe caching, Drupal serves high-traffic corporate sites reliably under load. This is the architecture we run for multinational clients across dozens of markets. - ### How do you manage Drupal multisite at scale? We consolidate country and brand sites onto a governed platform, often Acquia Cloud Site Factory, with shared components, central security, and per-market editorial control. New sites launch in days while brand consistency is enforced. - ### Can Drupal integrate with our CRM, ERP, and HR systems? Yes. We integrate Salesforce/Pardot, SAP, Workday, SharePoint, and Microsoft SSO (SAML), making the website part of your enterprise stack rather than a standalone system. - ### Can you work alongside our internal IT and existing vendors? Yes. Orchestration is central to our model. We provide independent technical governance and coordinate with internal teams and third-party providers to keep the digital ecosystem cohesive and stable. - ### How do you handle GDPR, accessibility, and NIS2 compliance? Compliance is built into every platform we govern: strict GDPR data handling, thorough WCAG accessibility, and NIS2 readiness, backed by our ENS certification and Drupal Silver Certified Partner status. - ### Can you migrate or upgrade our platform without downtime? Yes. We deliver zero-downtime migrations and Drupal 11 upgrades for live enterprise platforms, refactoring architecture and reducing technical debt during the transition rather than porting problems forward. ## Ready to modernize your corporate platform?
