Drupal is a leading content management system (CMS) that has been used to build some of the world’s most prominent websites and digital experiences.
The platform was first created as a university project by Dries Buytaert in the early 2000s and has since gone on to become one of the most successful open-source projects in the world with over 10 major versions and 1.4m community members. It’s used by 14% of the top 10k websites worldwide and has a footprint across small-medium-enterprise organisations, government/public sector and everything in between
In 2008, Dries took the step into the commercialising Drupal as a managed cloud offering through Acquia, launching the Acquia Content Cloud, at the heart of which was the Drupal CMS.
This venture has since gone on to become one of the leading software companies in the world of Web Content Management, expanding into digital marketing through acquisitions of AgileOne CDP and Mautic martech campaign technology to create a fully-featured digital experience platform or DXP.
