The Problem

Why teams outgrow Drupal

Drupal is renowned for its flexibility but notorious for its 'Developer Dependency.' Simple changes often require complex code deployments, and major version upgrades (e.g., Drupal 9 to 10) are massive, expensive migration projects that can paralyze marketing roadmaps for months. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is incredibly high due to the specialized knowledge required to secure and maintain the LAMP stack infrastructure.

Marketing teams often feel locked out of their own website, unable to launch campaigns or landing pages without filing tickets with the IT department.

The Solution

A content production engine — not just a database.

Decipher CMS democratizes content management for non-technical teams while satisfying enterprise IT requirements. The 'Smart Content Editor' allows marketers to build, optimize, and publish without code.

'AI Chat Integration' acts as an always-on assistant to help generate content structures and copy. Decipher removes the maintenance burden entirely; as a 'Google-Backed Startup', the platform updates automatically.

There are no security patches to install and no servers to reboot. Features like 'Structured approval workflows' and 'Role-based permissions' ensure that while marketers have agility, governance is maintained.

Stop paying for maintenance. Start paying for growth. Switch to Decipher.
Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade architecture — without the enterprise complexity.

Drupal sites are often monolithic and heavy. Decipher allows for a decoupled, headless approach using 'Private Infrastructure' on Google Cloud.

This allows enterprises to run the CMS in an isolated environment that meets strict compliance standards (similar to on-premise) but with the scalability of the cloud. The 'Direct cloud billing' model ensures you pay Google directly for infrastructure usage, avoiding the markup typical of managed Drupal hosting providers like Acquia.

Pricing

Total Cost of Ownership

Enterprise Drupal maintenance contracts often exceed $50,000 annually just for security patches and uptime guarantees. Decipher’s Enterprise License is a flat ~$24,000/year ($2,000/month) with 'No per-seat pricing'.

This creates 'Total cost savings up to 43%' by eliminating the need for a dedicated DevOps team to manage the CMS infrastructure.
