Representatives
from Phase 2 Technology, the Drupal architecture consultant hired

meet stake holders, and learn about the U’s culture.
Among
the groups they met with are:
- UMContent

- Drupal
users group to learn about requirements and ensure the
enterprise environment will be an attractive alternative to
spinning up VM’s to host individual Drupal implementations
- ULibraries

Drupal for their websites and have it appear in the new portal
Phase
