# About Us Acquia provides software and services to help you build a better digital world for your customers — one that’s frictionless, relevant, accessible, and safe. ## Our History ### What started in a university dorm room has grown into the digital foundation for some of the world’s most ambitious brands. Image ![Dries Buytaert Headshot](/sites/default/files/media/image/2024-10/Dries%20Testimonial%20Headshot.svg) In 2000, [Dries Buytaert created](https://www.acquia.com/blog/what-is-drupal) a community message board at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. A year later, he released it as an open source project that would become Drupal, a powerful platform with the capability and flexibility to manage content at any scale, large and small. In 2007, Dries co-founded Acquia to provide infrastructure, support, and services to the largest, most demanding Drupal users. More than 15 years later, Acquia continues to create Drupal and non-Drupal-based technologies that help companies effectively and efficiently manage content on their terms, build remarkable experiences, and connect more powerfully with their audiences. Today, Acquia offers a portfolio of products to help companies maximize the value of their content across multiple channels and throughout the customer journey. Along with integration capabilities to build a technology stack tailored to your unique business needs, Acquia ensures the tools you invest in across your ecosystem work together seamlessly to provide exceptional customer experiences. ![Drupal Logo](/sites/default/files/styles/content_grid/public/media/image/2024-10/Drupal%20Social%20Graphic.png?h=924aa469&itok=T1RbpqD5) #### A Powerful Team Acquia’s foundational software and services were built for and around Drupal to give enterprise companies the ability to build, operate, and optimize websites, apps, and other digital experiences.
