Content Management SystemWeb CMS is an application, that provides capabilities for multiple users with different permission levels to manage (all or a section of) content, data or information of a website project, or internet / intranet application.
Key capabilities in considering a Web CMS are:• Easily editable content - WYSIWYG• Access Controls • Scalable expansion - single implementation across multiple domains• Content Virtualization - work within virtual copy of code, document and website• Content Syndication - RSS, Atom• Collaboration• Delegation - setting privileges• Workflow Management

DrupalCore In the Drupal community, the term "core" means anything outside of the "sites" folder in a Drupal installation.[38] Drupal core is the stock element of Drupal. In its default configuration, a Drupal website's content can be contributed by either registered or anonymous users (at the discretion of the administrator) and is made accessible to web visitors by a variety of selectable criteria. Drupal core also includes a hierarchical taxonomy system, which allows content to be categorized or tagged with key words for easier access.[11]
Core Modules The core Drupal distribution includes the following features:
Advanced search; Blogs, books, comments, forums, and polls; Caching and feature throttling for improved performance ; Descriptive URLs; Multi-level menu system ; Multi-site support ; Multi-user content creation and editing ; OpenID support; RSS feed and feed aggregator ; Security and new release update notification ; User profiles ; Various access control restrictions (user roles, IP addresses, email) ; Workflow tools (triggers and actions)
Core themes; Localization; Auto-update notification; Database abstraction;
Accessibility• Drag and Drop functionality• Improved color contrast and intensity• Adding skip navigation to Core themes• Adding labels by default for input forms• Fixing CSS display:none with consistent methods for hiding & exposing text onfocus

DrupalExtending the Core is modular, defining a system of hooks and callbacks, which are accessed internally via an API.[50] This design allows third-party contributed (often abbreviated to "contrib")modules and themes to extend or override Drupal's default behaviors without changing Drupal core's code.
Drupal isolates core files from contributed modules and themes. This increases flexibility and security and allows administrators to cleanly upgrade to new releases without overwriting their site's customizations.[51] The Drupal community has the saying "Never hack core", a strong recommendation that people do not change core files.[38]
Modules - Contributed modules offer image galleries, custom content types and content listings, WYSIWYG editors, private messaging, third party integration tools. As of January 2013, 20,100 free modules!
Themes - Contributed themes adapt or replace a Drupal site’s default look and feel. Community-contributed themes re released under a free GPL license, can be found at the Drupal Theme Garden.
Distributions - Defines a packaged version of Drupal that upon installation, provides a website or application built for a specific purpose.

Managing Web Content - Drupal
Content Creations
• Taxonomy - Content categorization • Views - WYSIWYG \ Use for front-end rendering such as title, blurb, thumbnails & etc.• Content Construction Kit (CCK) - allows site administrators to dynamically create content types by extending the database schema. "Content type" describes the kind of information. Content types include, but are not limited to, events, invitations, reviews, articles, and products.
Control \ Content Publishing \ Collaboration
• Page Manager - Manage all front-end pages creation and url specification• Panels - Control & Create page layout. To be integrated with Page Manager.• Content locking - Concurrent content access lock to prevent changes from overriding• Media (Youtube, Viemo, RazorTv, Soundcloud) - Video and audio embed tools. For web and mobile compatibility.• Nodeqeue - Features content in front-end and sort them based on any priorities• Views Slideshow: Cycle - Feature slideshow in homepage. • Imagecache - Image manipulation for thumbnails.

• Faster development / deploymentWith the readily available modules, most of them can be “plug and play” easily. Using page manager, panels and views to layout the information with little coding required. Most of it can be done at CMS level which also standardize the whole development structure.
• Constant UpdatesMost of them are actively updated for D6, D7 and even D8. Patches are release in Drupal forum for any fixes/bugs (If any).
• MaintenanceWith most of configurations handle by the CMS, little code deployment are require for any fixes. Tweak and changes can easily be done at CMS level for any urgent request such as changing the limit of a listing page, or change of the thumbnail size.WCMS can be accessible online as well which makes maintenance support easier.
• Customized to Workflow and Integration to existing Systems
• Post launch Performance Tuning Acquia Insight and New Relics
