Our take
Acquia’s digital experience platform was borne out of the Drupal Project, a popular free and open source software used to develop core content management systems. Drupal creator Dries Buytaert co-founded Acquia in 2007 in a bid to commercialise the software separately.
Considering that Acquia now counts Warner Music Group, NBC Sports, and Johnson & Johnson among its clients, and was acquired by Vista Equity Partner for $1 billion in 2019, it’s fair to say it’s been a success thus far. Indeed, the fact that Vista has a reputation for acquiring what it sees as “undervalued” companies says a lot about Acquia’s true worth.
Since the 2019 acquisition, Acquia has accelerated its growth and international expansion across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. It also acquired digital asset and product information management company Widen in 2021, proving its determination to keep adding to its product offering. It added new AI features to its digital asset management solution in 2024, doubling down in the face of an increasingly competitive market.
