DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: Total value of ownership: Drupal 8 and beyond

This talk focuses on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Drupal and its value in comparison to other content management systems (CMS). The speaker examines the investment required to build, enhance, and maintain a Drupal website while emphasizing that value should be the primary consideration when evaluating software solutions. The session discusses Drupal's strengths and weaknesses, particularly in the context of Drupal 8, and provides strategies for aligning Drupal's value with client needs. Participants are encouraged to engage in an interactive discussion to gain insights that will help them negotiate contracts effectively and communicate the benefits of Drupal within the broader CMS landscape.
