Last week, several hundred people joined a few of us at Palantir for Playing Nicely With Others: Integrating Drupal with Third-Party Data, a webinar hosted by our friends and partners at Acquia. This hour-long presentation focused on different approaches and strategies for migrating and integrating data from third-party systems into Drupal, along with a few examples from some projects that we've worked on.

Many of our clients, such as colleges and universities, publications, and museums and cultural institutions, need their Web sites to work seamlessly with information from other systems, such as course listings, subscribers, and collections.  We're also often asked to migrate large amounts of content from legacy content management platforms or static HTML.   One of the reasons we like working with Drupal is that its flexibility makes these kinds of migrations and integrations easy to accomplish.
