Sydney, Australia – February 5 2014 – Converga Pty Ltd has acquired Speedscan Group Holdings Pty Ltd effective 1 February in Australia and New Zealand giving Converga greater scale, volume and reach in the Group's core markets in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Philippines.

According to Converga chief executive Mr Brian Roberts, “Speedscan's breakthrough technologies and business solutions not only strengthen our customer base, they bring broader expertise that will open up new opportunities in new industries for the combined Group.

"The rising trend in both the public and private sectors to find new ways to increase productivity is leading to an expanding role for business process outsourcing (BPO)," Mr Roberts added.

This has enabled us to transform paper processes to digital, increasing processing capacity which has firmly established us as a leader in business process outsourcing.
