Enterprise Appendix: Maintenance & Compatibility (Drupal Connector)

Updated over a week ago

Audience: Security, procurement, enterprise architecture, DevOps

Scope: Maintenance, lifecycle, compatibility, upgrade guarantees, support model

The Enterprise Assurance commitments described on this page apply to subscribers on the Quantum tier or higher, as defined in the Bureau Works Software Order Form.

Architectural Compatibility Model (TMGMT-Based)

Bureau Works’ Drupal integration is built as an extension of the TMGMT (Translation Management) module. Because of this:

  • Connector compatibility aligns directly with Drupal versions supported by TMGMT.

  • Based on TMGMT’s published roadmap and current releases, the connector is compatible with:

    • Drupal 10

    • Drupal 11

As TMGMT advances version support, Bureau Works maintains matching compatibility.


Active Maintenance

The Drupal connector plugin is continuously maintained by Bureau Works engineering and product teams, including:

  • Bug fixes

  • Security updates

  • Dependency and API adjustments

  • Enhancements based on subscriber needs

Maintenance is governed by Bureau Works’ standard release and QA processes.


Compatibility Validation Based on Subscriber Roadmaps

Bureau Works continuously monitors:

  • Drupal core development

  • TMGMT releases updates and deprecations

When a subscriber begins planning a migration to a new major version:

  1. Bureau Works initiates full compatibility validation

  2. Any necessary plugin updates are prepared

  3. Compatibility is certified once TMGMT has published a compatible release

This ensures compatibility is never speculative and remains aligned with upstream TMGMT support.


Upgrade Coordination Policy

To ensure predictable and safe upgrades, Bureau Works requests:

Minimum 120 days’ advance notice for any planned major Drupal upgrade.

This window allows Bureau Works to:

  • Complete compatibility assessments

  • Validate behavior against real subscriber configurations

  • Deliver required updates if needed

  • Coordinate rollout to minimize operational risk

This assumes a compatible TMGMT release is already available for the target Drupal version.


Quality and Security Standards

All connector changes follow Bureau Works’ internal SDLC and quality controls, including:

  • Formal code review

  • Regression testing

  • Validation in subscriber-aligned environments

  • Release governance aligned with Bureau Works’ SOC 2 Type II certified controls

Enterprise clients may request a formal Security & Maintenance Statement.


Dedicated Support & SLA Coverage

Subscribers receive full support for the Drupal connector under Bureau Works’ existing enterprise SLA, including:

  • Configuration and setup assistance

  • Troubleshooting and defect resolution

  • Upgrade planning and compatibility validation

  • Guidance on TMGMT workflows and provider behavior

For response times, escalation paths, and availability commitments, please refer to your Bureau Works SLA and Help Center support policies.


Distribution & Installation Expectations

  • The plugin is delivered by Bureau Works as part of the connector package.

  • Installation supports enterprise deployment practices (including Composer-based workflows) where required by subscriber DevOps policy.

  • Bureau Works provides the appropriate distribution method and access details during implementation.
