Astron has acquired the three Hays Commercial Division businesses - Transaction Processes, Document Technologies and Marketing Technologies, according to Astron GM S Venkat Kumar. Two new Astron group companies would be created - Astron BPO will offer call center, electronic data inputting and capture services, while Astron Document Services will provide billing and database management capabilities.

"In one step the acquisitions satisfy the increasing requirement for an operation that can meet the front, middle and back office needs for global client operations," according to an official release. The sale of Transaction Processes, Document Technologies and Marketing Technologies parts of the Hays Group was not because the businesses were under-performing but it was a desire on Hays part to concentrate on its core business of personnel and recruitment that prompted such a move.
