The journey of Magento

The journey of Blue Acorn

Blue Acorn was one of the early adopters and veterans of Magento. The company merged with IciDigital April 2019 to form Blue Acorn Ici. Later the same year they acquired MedioType, another Magento agency. This was then followed up in 2020 by an acquisition by Infosys - the growth trajectory continues.
