Jeff:
An onsite jumpstart to get your team familiar with the distribution. Drupal training and OpenPublish video tutorials for faculty members 24x7 support through Acquia’s Technical Assistance Center. If your installation crashes or you’re just looking for advice, best practices, or technical help, you’ll be happy you have an on demand Drupal expertise and service level agreements. Maintaining an up-to-date application is critical for security, performance, and scalability. This is why we’ve included module updates, security patches, and new features deployments. We also want your team to be able to focus on development and not getting bogged down. Packages also include Drupal-tuned, high availability, performance enhanced hosting. Since our operations and support teams are stones throw away from one another…trouble shooting and assisting your team is even easier. Reporting any core issues that pop up is important for the success of OpenPublish. This why we’re working closely with Phase2 to ensure escalation. Packaged together – these fully managed services enable you to deploy today and build tomorrow.
At Acquia, we love supporting efforts that further Drupal initiatives. This is one of the reasons we’re partnered with Harvard. A portion of all sales will be contributed back to the OpenScholar team at Harvard to support the distribution and new features that will be deployed back to you and the Drupal community. Group funded sprints will also contribute to these goals, reduce costs, and develop more features that are in high demand. We’ve already come across several universities who are interested. Again, the goal is to maintain core Drupal philosophies through collaboration and contribution. However, If core issues do arise, we’re able to work closely with the OpenScholar team to trouble shoot, fix, and contribute patches. Likewise, in the spirit of collaboration, we aim to aggregate best practices to help universities deploy OpenScholar more effectively.
So how can Acquia help you with OpenPublish? To get started, we’re offering free deployment consultations. We’d like understand your needs, goals, and vision for OpenPublish. From there, we’ve developed a selection of different sized packages for fully managed services and benefits we just discussed. From there, we can provide you with a detailed proposal that goes over all of the services, timeline, jumpstart, and training that will help get you started. OpenPublish as a Service comes with support, automatic module, feature, and security updates, and ongoing performance tuning. In the end, it’s all about collaboration, though. Let’s work together to build the next killer open source application for high education.
