Amplexor, a specialist in enterprise content management (ECM), has become Acquia’s first Gold Partner in Belgium. Acquia is a commercial open source software company providing products, services and technical support for Drupal software. The company was founded by Dries Buytaert, who is also the creator of the Drupal project. Drupal is an open source software platform enabling users to build a multitude of websites and web applications, among them sophisticated corporate and community websites, intranets, e-commerce applications, blogs, wikis and social networking sites.

Clients of Amplexor can now make use of the broad range of services already offered by Acquia to Drupal users. Any client that wants to do so can thus have a free standard version of Drupal, including all the core modules. Acquia will be in charge of the monitoring and additional support provided for the Drupal platform, for example offering anti-spam software, a dynamic search engine, statistics, software updates, technical support, professional services, etc.

According to Eric Pieters, CEO of Amplexor, “Open source software is becoming more and more popular. But many companies are calling for guarantees on the level of support and the quality of the product. Acquia and Amplexor can meet their needs. With this partnership, we guarantee our clients a standard quality distribution of Drupal, and we offer them complementary services and support. I am of course very proud to say that Amplexor is Acquia’s first Gold Partner in Belgium. This again confirms our expertise in Enterprise Content Management and Web Content Management.”
