Accenture Completes Fjord Acquisition

Accenture plc (ACN) said Wednesday that it has completed its acquisition of Fjord, a London-based global service design consultancy that specializes in creating wide-ranging digital experiences and services for consumers across platforms including smart devices, tablets and PCs.

The deal was first announced on May 7.

The acquisition expands the digital and marketing capabilities Accenture offers its clients through its marketing-focused Accenture Interactive group. It further enhances Accenture Interactive's ability to help chief marketing officers and digital leaders create distinctive customer experiences and bring them to market with speed. Fjord's design capabilities will complement the business strategy, data analytics, technology and marketing operations services offered through Accenture Interactive.

Last week, Accenture announced that it has agreed to buy digital marketing and eCommerce company Acquity Group for about $316 million in cash.
