Accenture has acquired Ziff Davis's Connectivity division, which includes Ookla, the company behind the Speedtest app, for $1.2 billion in cash. The acquisition also encompasses Downdetector, Ekahau, and RootMetrics. This strategic move aims to enhance Accenture's cyber intelligence services, particularly in AI-related transformation businesses. Ziff Davis plans to focus on its vertical media brands such as IGN and Mashable, alongside businesses like Everyday Health, following the sale. The Connectivity division is expected to generate $231 million in revenue by 2025, accounting for 16% of Ziff Davis's total revenue. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes and capital allocation activities.
