Lincolnshire, Illinois-based Hewitt paid $43 million in May 2003 to acquire Cyborg. The acquisition of Chicago-based Cyborg allowed Hewitt to gain experience in the payroll field at a time the company needed to complete its suite of HR outsourcing services, Hewitt chairman and CEO Russ Fradin in a statement.

But Hewitt now is divesting Cyborg because licensing software is not core to its strategy of providing end-to-end benefits, payroll and workforce management services, said Jay Rising, president of Hewitt’s HR outsourcing business.

Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
