Overview
--------

Launchpad provides a unified user interface to authenticate, view, and access Acquia's core products, add-ons, and support resources. This interface is powered by Acquia ID, Acquia's identity management solution built by leveraging technology from an industry-leading identity provider. Acquia ID simplifies how you access Acquia products, support, and training resources. For more information about Acquia ID, visit [Using Acquia ID](/resources/using-acquia-id "Using Acquia ID").
