Cincinnati, Ohio - Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader
in providing customer care, human resources, and billing services,
announced today it has completed the acquisition of the Finance and
Accounting (F&A) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business of Deloitte
Consulting Outsourcing LLC, a subsidiary of Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Today's closing finalizes a definitive agreement between Deloitte
Consulting Outsourcing and Convergys first announced on June 16, 2005.
At that time, Convergys stated the acquisition would be neutral to its
2005 earnings per share. Deloitte Consulting Outsourcing's F&A BPO
business provides finance and accounting outsourcing services to clients
in multiple industries ranging from communications to retail to
professional services. It provides business processing and technology
services supporting clients from procurement to payment, financial
reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, and treasury management
functions.
"Convergys is already an established leader in the HR BPO market, so
this acquisition is a strategic extension of Convergys' service
offerings that will leverage our existing HR and customer care expertise
and experience, advanced technologies, global reach, and strong client
relationships," said Steve Rolls, Executive Vice President, Global
Customer Management and Employee Care for Convergys. "Finance and
accounting BPO is a fast-growing market and this acquisition provides
proven F&A BPO expertise developed over the last 10 years by one of the
leading financial services organizations. At the same time, it positions
Convergys to expand our footprint to a whole new horizontal market and
accelerate revenue growth in our customer management business."
"This move is highly beneficial for Convergys," said Industry Analyst
Anna Danilenko, Program Manager of F&A BPO and Consulting services, IDC.
"The acquisition is expected to benefit Convergys' core business and
well position it to capitalize on a rapidly growing F&A BPO market."
