EY acquires digital engineering consultancy

Ernst and Young (EY) has announced the acquisition of UK-based Digital Detox Ventures for an undisclosed sum.

Digital Detox Ventures is a digital engineering consultancy which specialises in custom software development for digital applications, with key focuses on the health, real estate, technology, hospitality, and construction industries.

The acquisition will help EY to further build out its digital engineering capabilities, and complement the existing technology transformation teams including EY Seren, the company said.

Alison Kay, managing partner for client services, UK & Ireland at EY, commented: “The acquisition will bring a range of new capabilities and skills to support EY clients across four important sectors – health wellness and sciences, real estate hospitality and construction and TMT.

“It will strengthen EY consulting services and will support EY teams' growth in the UK and Ireland.”

Kay added: “Digital Detox follows the recent acquisitions of AgilityWorks, Frank Hirth, Pythagoras Communications, Seaton Partners, Lane4, PeakEPM and most recently Blackdot – all of which have helped EY teams meet the changing needs and demands of clients.”
