History

The company grew from Cincinnati Bell Information Systems and MATRIXX, both subsidiaries of Cincinnati Bell, and AT&T Solutions Customer Care (formerly AT&T American Transtech), which was sold to Cincinnati Bell in 1998; an IPO in August 1998 made it a fully independent company.[2] Since then, Convergys' headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, has acquired numerous companies.

Convergys sold its Human Resources Management line of business to NorthgateArinso in March 2010.[3]

On 22 March 2012, Japanese technology firm NEC announced it would buy the Information Management Business of Convergys for approximately $449 million.[4][5] In 2012, Convergys Philippines, 8 years after its entry into the country established 18 centers with 26,000 employees in all, was named “BPO Employer of the Year” at the annual International ICT Awards.[6]
