Acquia Boosts Digital Inclusion: Monsido Acquisition and Key Partnerships

Acquia has announced its acquisition of Monsido, a platform specializing in website accessibility, content quality, search engine optimization, data privacy, and performance. The move is aligned with Acquia's mission to enhance digital experiences and build a more inclusive online environment. 

The founder and CTO of Acquia, Dries Buytaert noted in his blog post, 

"I'm pleased to announce that Acquia has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Monsido, a leading platform for monitoring and optimizing website accessibility, content quality, search engine optimization, data privacy, and performance."

Monsido's tools address various challenges faced by organizations in achieving web accessibility compliance, providing solutions for optimizing performance, ensuring brand consistency, and managing user consent for privacy regulations.

This strategic move reflects Acquia's recognition of the importance of web accessibility, considering that a quarter of the world's population, over 2.2 billion people, has vision impairments. The Monsido platform aims to simplify compliance with global digital accessibility legislations, overcoming common obstacles like limited expertise and budget constraints. Additionally, Acquia's new partnerships with Conductor and VWO contribute to its digital experience optimization efforts. Conductor offers SEO tools for improved search engine visibility, while VWO provides a suite of engagement and conversion optimization tools. With the Monsido acquisition and partnerships, Acquia strengthens its position as a comprehensive solution for building, managing, and optimizing digital experiences.
