Acquia Teams with Raincity Studios as a Platinum Development Partner

Drupal development and hosting leader set to deliver solutions with Acquia Drupal and Acquia Network

Two leading Drupal companies have teamed up to make the popular open source content management system a more accessible and practical choice for businesses.

In an agreement finalized at DrupalCon 2008, Acquia has announced Raincity Studios as a Platinum Partner on the newly launched Acquia Partner Program.

Dries Buytaert, project lead of Drupal and co-founder of Acquia, expresses his enthusiasm about the partnership saying:

"Raincity Studios is just the kind of company we seek for partnerships to help us transform the web - they have a history of innovation, participation and contribution to the Drupal community.  I look forward to future success together."

In the great spirit of building something greater than the sum of all our parts Raincity Studios is happy to announced a merger of operations with Illanti Industries, a vancouver-based idea and development firm specializing in web development using Ruby on Rail.
With this merger, we are increasing our production capacity and adding new members to our ever growing Raincity team. (ah crap!, we’ll have to do another photo-shoot! Kris, can I book you for when we come back from Asia?)

Nah Seriously, it’s all good. This new merger solidify our production ability and increase our talent pool allowing us to create more cool stuff for our clients and ourselves. We’ve been dreaming about deploying our own products for months. We have enjoyed a great deal of success being a service company, we love our clients and we want to be able to create better tools to service them more efficiently. This is all part of our greater plan for the studio and our hope to open a new branch office south of the border in 2007.
