What is content? Is it data? I like to think of content as the machine (computer) representation of information.

The word data usually conjures up visions of tables in relational databases, SQL, stored procedures, various normal forms, keys, indexes etc. Data in relational database tables is great when it comes to sifting through millions of rows spread across many tables to give us what we are looking for.

Drupal

Drupal is a wildly popular award winning open source social publishing system which powers the website of the President of the USA, many large media sites around the world (e.g. France24, MTV UK) as well as the sites of thousands of companies (e.g. AT&T, Ahold), Communities (e.g. Amazee), NGOs (e.g. Amnesty International) and other organizations.

Drupal combines the functions of a content management framework, social publishing and content management system. A major distinguishing feature of Drupal is that allows many pieces of information (called nodes) to be stored in a database and combined to produce web pages dynamically when they are called up.

It comes with on board tools for Search Engine Optimization such as Volacci's SEO Checklist, hundreds of different themes and thousands of community contributed modules.

Anolim provides development, support and IT infrastructure (e.g. hosting) services for Drupal.

Content Management

Dynamic content is becoming more and more important for websites. At Anolim we believe that best way to create dynamic websites and applications is to use a content management system and framework.

We make extensive use of the Drupal content management framework and system which has an extensive library of 4'200+ plug-ins. This allows us to  avoid reinventing the technology wheel for every website by using this toolbox of standard components, modules and tools.

Our Managing Partner Prodosh Banerjee's presentation about why Drupal is popular among media companies will give you a good idea of some the uses it can be put to.
