• The UI standardized its Web Content Management System (CMS) on Drupal, achieving efficiency and cost savings through consolidation of departmentally hosted sites. 
• Drupal adoption continues to grow. Business, Engineering, and Education and the healthcare enterprise are moving to the system now used by nearly all of campus.  
• Because Drupal is open-source software, the UI is able to avoid licensing fees for the CMS.

• The team expanded the scope of its project after discovering more savings could be had by moving Web hosting to a cloud provider, Acquia.

• Teamwork across several units led to the establishment of a new enterprise service for digital signage.
• The service expanded use of Drupal to digital signs, avoiding licensing fees of other solutions. 
• Adoption of the free, easy-to-use service is growing rapidly.
  • 31 colleges, divisions, and departments representing over 70 units are on the new service.
• Annual licensing renewals for previous digital signage solutions declined from 33 in 2015 to 7 in 2016, resulting in annual licensing fee savings of $3,900.

Digital sign managers note that adding content is a much smoother process that can be done from anywhere, anytime. And, because Drupal is the predominant system used for Web content management on campus, it's familiar and intuitive.

• In addition to being more energy-efficient, the sticks are far less expensive to buy, and can run on wireless, eliminating the need for data ports and cabling.
• Standardizing on a single device to provide computing for digital signage also yields technical support staff savings and less down time. Units have centrally imaged, deployed, and managed “hot swaps” available.
