Case Study: Examiner.com

Revolutionizing The Online Media Market Through Open Source Social Publishing

With over 42,000 content contributors, Examiner.com has enjoyed some of the fastest year-over-year growth of any online media company. Examiner.com has demonstrated a long-term strategic vision to leverage social media for improving online news distribution models. This commitment has directly led to the large-scale migration of the entire Examiner.com site to Open Source Drupal.

This case study highlights how Examiner.com's migration to Drupal 7 has effectively improved their search engine and page load performance, community interaction and user engagement, and the elimination of all costs associated with server licensing fees.

“We’re confident that this is the right move. Open source development and support is substantially more cost effective. We’ll be saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first year alone, just on slashing proprietary web server licenses.”

– Michael Myers, CTO at Clarity Digital Group
