NaviSite operates as a digital transformation and managed services provider, now integrated into Accenture's Infrastructure Engineering practice following its acquisition in early 2024. The firm was originally founded in 1996 as a subsidiary of CMGI Inc. to host websites for CMGI's associated companies before expanding its services to external clients in 1997. Headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, NaviSite has a history of evolving its service offerings through both internal development and strategic acquisitions.

The company's business centers on providing managed cloud services, application management, and enterprise hosting for mid-market and enterprise clients. Its revenue is generated by delivering these outsourced IT infrastructure services. NaviSite has established partnerships with major technology firms like Microsoft, Intel, and Oracle, enabling it to offer a comprehensive suite of managed services. These services cover cloud infrastructure maintenance, managed VMware and Microsoft Azure platforms, application management for enterprise software such as Oracle and SAP, and desktop-as-a-service solutions. Over the years, NaviSite has expanded its capabilities by acquiring companies like Alabanza Corporation for web hosting, Privo for AWS consulting, and Velocity Technology Solutions to bolster its ERP and cloud management services.

NaviSite's history is marked by a series of ownership changes that reflect the dynamic nature of the IT services industry. After its initial public offering in 1999, the company was acquired by Time Warner Cable in 2011 for approximately $230 million. Subsequently, it became part of Charter Communications through Charter's acquisition of Time Warner Cable in 2015. In 2019, RDX, a provider of cloud and data infrastructure services, acquired NaviSite from Charter Communications to expand its global footprint and service portfolio. Most recently, in January 2024, Accenture acquired NaviSite, absorbing its team of roughly 1,500 employees to enhance its own application and infrastructure managed services capabilities for the North American market.
