CiviCRM has a really wide feature set. But invariably there will be some specialized function that your client or organization needs. Inspired by Drupals hooks, CiviCRM first added hooks and then an API - now in its second version. You can craft a solution to address that unique function by leveraging Drupal's modularity with CiviCRM's hooks and API.
Agenda

- Overview of CiviCRM data model (give the APIs a context)
