9:14 pm   -   September 28th, 2006

Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in providing customer care, human resources, and billing services announced today its selection to the top 100 on the InformationWeek 500 list of innovators worldwide. InformationWeek recognized Convergys for its innovative development of its state-of-art Natural Language Understanding applications, which offer open-ended or conversational user interfaces for speech based customer care applications.

Also contributing to Convergys’ recognition is its award winning patented user interface for web-based self-care, as well as its patented Method and Systems for Database Conversions. Convergys’ Method and Systems for Database Conversions saves time and money by eliminating unnecessary custom development for conversion projects.

For the past 18 years, InformationWeek has identified and honored the nation’s most innovative users of information technology with its annual listing. The InformationWeek 500 list is unique among corporate rankings because it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

“The InformationWeek 500 honors today’s leading companies who set the benchmark for business technology strategies and projects,” said InformationWeek publishing director, Fritz Nelson. “The companies on our list are some of the most innovative users of technology.”

“By combining our specialized knowledge and operational experience, we are able to bring unique IT based solutions that improve our clients’ customer care experience and satisfaction,” said Jeff Gordon, Convergys Senior Vice President, Advanced Development & New Markets.

Convergys has invested over $248 million in research and development in the last 3 years, and now holds an industry leading 76 patents or patents-pending for advanced technology in all phases of customer care, human resources, and billing.

Stocks heads to lower open ahead

Wall Street headed for a lower open Wednesday with investors worried about the economic fallout if Detroit's Big Three automakers are unable to persuade lawmakers to give them a $25 billion bailout.

The market will again be glued to testimony given during the session by top executives from General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC. They are asking Congress for a massive infusion of cash to prevent millions of layoffs, stave off bankruptcy and stabilize the companies.

Investors are concerned at the repercussions should any of the three automakers collapse, an event that could ripple through an already battered economy. Congressional Democrats have proposed using part of the $700 billion financial bailout package to pump into the ailing auto industry, but Republicans oppose such an approach.

Stock futures fall ahead of automakers' testimony

Wall Street appeared ready to retreat again Tuesday, as stock futures sank amid nervousness about the fate of Detroit's Big Three auto makers.

On Tuesday, executives of General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC and the head of the United Auto Workers union will testify at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
