As Drupal is becoming more ambitious and is targeting enterprise website and organisations, agencies are facing the fierce competition of established proprietary software vendors, who have decades of selling experience behind them. In order to survive as a Drupal or any other FOSS company, it is crucial that you start to master the art of strategy.

In order to spread the word that it is possible to get large enterprises to support Open Source software I will present a case study on how leadership within the company I work for was swayed to support the Drupal Association and get more involved in the Open Source communities in which they live and work.
