Case Study: Scholastic Book Club modernizes its site and boosts traffic with Acquia

Scholastic makes the leap to Drupal with tutoring from Acquia

Scholastic, the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books and a leader in educational technology, needed a new CMS in 2011 that was flexible, easy for editors, and backed by a strong community—requirements driven by a small internal technology team. They chose Drupal to meet those needs and sought outside expertise to ensure a successful launch.

Partnering with Acquia for consulting and support, Scholastic resolved early implementation challenges and relaunched the Scholastic Teacher site with daily refreshed content, driving a noticeable increase in visitors. Buoyed by Acquia’s support and community credibility, Scholastic is expanding Drupal across additional site sections, building a reusable Scholastic distribution, and expecting broader adoption across business units within the year.
