Why would I need Acquia Network subscriptions if I have considerable Drupal expertise in my organization?
The Acquia Network subscriptions have two essential elements of value. The first element is technical support to help you efficiently resolve problems that inevitably occur while building and operating your site. The second element is the network services that streamline maintenance tasks and add valuable new functionality to your site. If you have considerable Drupal expertise in your organization, you may be able to self-support instead of relying on Acquia for support. However, you owe it to yourself to examine whether internal technical support is the best use of time for your limited internal resources. It may be that their time is better spent building new functionality to delight your users rather than troubleshooting defects, isolating root causes, and finding or developing patches.
