Singapore-based NewsPage, which specialises in developing and building mobility and management software, is to be bought by consulting firm Accenture.

The move comes as Accenture seeks to develop and improve platform mobility and management capabilities.

Fabio Vacirca, senior managing director of Accenture's consumer goods and services practice, said: "This acquisition is important as it will enhance Accenture's ability to help global consumer goods companies by supporting all route-to-market sales and delivery models across mature and emerging markets."
