Manchester-based cybersecurity firm NCC Group has sold its web performance division to Eggplant.
The acquisition gives London-headquartered Eggplant (formerly known as Testplant) a performance platform and portfolio of blue chip clients including Argos, BMW, Barclays, John Lewis and House of Fraser. Eggplant will also gain a team of world-leading testing, monitoring and data science experts.
Dr John Bates, CEO of Eggplant, said: “This is a key milestone in our growth strategy and we welcome the NCC Group’s Web Performance team and its customers to our organisation.
“There has never been a greater demand for optimising digital experiences and with the addition of new products and expertise, Eggplant can now more easily monitor, analyse and enhance the online customer experience, as well as accelerating the speed of delivery, quality and effectiveness of new digital products and services.”
Simon Austin, Technical Director at NCC Group Web Performance, added: “We’ve built a strong offering in the marketplace and are proud of the customers we have in our portfolio.
“Eggplant has a great reputation in the industry and the combination will offer customers a new and innovative model for continuous business assurance, allowing them to deliver the very best in digital services, products and experiences to their own customers.”
