Section F. Dependent offerings
2 listed offerings build on this package
From the marketplace's dependent products view. A provider that inherits controls from a package below it carries a narrower assessment boundary of its own, which is one of the larger levers on authorization cost.
Inheritance is why boundary scope moves a budget more than headcount does. The hidden costs page sets out where scope creeps back in.

Section H. Description
As published on the marketplace
The provider's own description of the service, reproduced from the FedRAMP feed without edits.
Acquia provides the leading cloud platform for building, delivering, and optimizing digital experiences. Acquia is the enterprise platform behind Drupal, the leading open-source content management system, recognized as a Magic Quadrant Leader by Gartner two years in a row. Our platform enables agencies to foster greater digital engagement with citizens and securely deliver mission essential information and services with greater speed, agility, and resiliency. The City of LA, State of New York, FEMA, Department of Homeland Security and many other government agencies rely on the Acquia platform to build websites and digital experiences that meet the needs of their citizens, internal users and IT teams while moving their missions forward. These agencies know that a citizen-centric government requires more than simply taking the existing physical structure and making it digital. Today the term "digital" has taken on a new meaning. In the private sector, consumers can shop, pay bills, and even conduct banking online, and now they're expecting to conduct government business online in the same way. The most forward-thinking government IT managers are finding ways to meet expectations set by the private sector, and then going above and beyond to serve citizens. With the Acquia Platform governments and agencies can use limited taxpayer dollars efficiently to build sites and experience that meet the needs of IT, deliver on the mission and give citizens crucial information they need.
