CINCINNATI & BOGOTÁ, Colombia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in relationship management, announces its expansion into Colombia with a state-of-the-art contact center that will provide top quality customer care services for leading corporations in the Americas. The new facility in Bogotá will bolster Convergys’ presence in Latin America, where the company already has offices and contact center facilities in Brazil, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
