Convergys Targets Financial BPO Segment
Convergys Corp.'s plan to acquire Deloitte Consulting's
business process outsourcing unit will propel the company
into a high-growth opportunity. Convergys last week signed a
deal to acquire Deloitte's Tulsa, Okla.-based unit that
focuses on finance and accounting outsourcing. Convergys'
business process outsourcing mainstay has been human
resources, so the deal would let the company expand into a
new area.

Distributor Avnet Launches IBM Blade Initiative
Distributor Avnet Partner Solutions this week launched a
blade server initiative with an eye to boosting sales of IBM
blades to the upper end of the small and midsized business
market. Avnet's blade program, called BladeCentral for IBM,
is designed to give VARs and integrators a quick entree into
a fast-growing market. Included in the program are technical
and sales training, demand generation and special financing,
said Jack Morris, the distributor's vice president of IBM
software and xSeries. To gain a foothold for IBM blades at
end-user accounts, Tempe, Ariz.-based Avnet is providing VAR
and integrator partners with a free chassis for the first
blade sale a partner makes into an account.

NetEx Recruits VARs for Data Acceleration Technology
Earlier this month, the mammoth financial services company
Citigroup had to make the embarrassing admission it was
missing a backup tape with confidential records of almost 4
million people. The tape, containing Social Security numbers
and customer transaction histories, seems to have
disappeared from a UPS truck on May 2, according to
Citigroup. Proponents of data replication technology say
such a compromising incident would not have occurred had
Citigroup been using replication technology as opposed to
backup tapes.
