Federal agencies cannot afford to wait for Drupal 12 and should act to upgrade to Drupal 11. Drupal's accelerated release cycle, increased reliance on modern PHP and Symfony, and removal of legacy application programming interfaces (APIs) make “large leap forward" upgrades (e.g., Drupal 7 → 10) no longer feasible without incurring significant technical debt, operational delays, and security exposure.     Agencies often face complex environments, system dependencies, and downtime concerns, but these challenges are solvable. CTAC has you covered. We’ve done this time and time again at scale. Bringing deep Drupal expertise, strong cloud capabilities, and AWS Advanced Partner experience, CTAC takes a holistic approach across Drupal, AWS infrastructure, DevSecOps pipelines, and ATO readiness, all supported by Acquia Certified Drupal Developers and Site Builders.     Modernization is continuous. Request our detailed report to learn more about the implications of waiting to upgrade and get a glimpse of our phased upgrade approach.     https://lnkd.in/ehrBtCfC

Drupal isn’t just open source, it’s enterprise ready. The latest article from DrupalSouth challenges the old assumption that enterprise means proprietary. Instead it shows Drupal powering high-stakes government platforms and major global brands with reliability, scalability and security. As our own Kurt Foster, CTO at Salsa Digital, put it: “During COVID-19 — a period of intense, daily public updates — we didn’t have a single outage. The cache management system meant we could handle massive traffic spikes without overwhelming the infrastructure.” That track record matters for decision makers choosing technology for complex ecosystems. Drupal’s flexibility, composable architecture and global community make it a strong contender in enterprise RFPs.
