ACS Wins Gold Brandon Hall Learning Award

    DALLAS, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc. (ACS) has won the Brandon Hall Gold Award for Excellence in
the category of "Best Blended Learning Program."

    Brandon Hall Research, an independent e-learning research firm,
conducts the awards program each year to recognize the best in innovative
learning. ACS was recognized during a ceremony and reception held in
conjunction with the Innovations in Learning Conference held Sept. 24-26,
2008 in San Jose, California.

    "We are honored to be a recipient of this year's Blended Learning
Excellence Award," said Richard Klingshirn, executive managing director of
ACS Learning Services. "It speaks highly of our design and development
team's ability to provide flexible, reliable learning and talent management
services to our clients, and strengthens our position as a leader and
innovator in learning."

    This award is particularly relevant because our program contains a
unique blend of components that address both cognitive and applied
learnings through resident group sessions, and online interactions through
e-learning, web casts, social networks and collaborative exchanges, said
Klingshirn.

    ACS was chosen from an initial field of hundreds of entries, which were
evaluated by independent judges around the world.

    "We are so impressed with the quality of this year's winning entries,"
said Brandon Hall, Ph.D., chairman of the Awards program. "These winners
set the standard for what innovative learning looks like today."
