IT major Infosys has acquired Irish customer contact centre operator Eishtec for an undisclosed amount, reported The Irish Times.

Eishtec, the report said, informed its staff about the development on Monday and told them they would be transferred to the Bengaluru-based IT services firm. The Irish firm that has approximately 1400 employees informed its staff in a statement that the merger would provide an opportunity for growth.

“The entire Eishtec team is excited about the new chapter in the company’s journey. The company’s owners have been working with a leading business process outsourcing company over the last few months and have made the strategic decision to transition the business to be part of Infosys BPM,” chief executive Heather Reynolds was quoted as saying in the report.

Established back in 2011, the Irish firm provides services to the telecoms, social media, healthcare, edtech and fintech sectors. As per the deal, the report said, the current management team at Eishtec will remain intact while some of the employees may be transferred.
