Accenture has secured the ownership of Ookla, the company behind speed and internet check tools, for a substantial $1.2 billion. This strategic move positions the consulting giant to leverage Ookla’s extensive network data for AI and cloud services. The acquisition follows Ziff Davis’ prior purchase of Ookla in 2014, expanding its reach across IT and business sectors.

Both companies aim to strengthen their platforms to assist enterprises and government clients in scaling AI safely. The deal underscores the growing importance of reliable internet performance metrics in modern digital infrastructure.
