Bookings Rise in Q1 2013
In the first quarter of 2013, Acquia reported its bookings grew by 52% compared to the same quarter in 2012, the company announced at the biannual DrupalCon event this week. Acquia noted much of the growth came in the life sciences, high tech, media, government and higher education industries.
Analyst firm Forrester listed Acquia as a contender in its latest Web content management Wave (story link), a list it shared with Microsoft, IBM and Ektron. Forrester liked the customization possibilities within the Acquia services realm, but noted its lack of marketing tools compared to those larger companies.
