DALLAS, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) re-enters the federal market on November 24, the
company brings with it a suite of proven services designed to meet the
specialized needs of federal agencies.
ACS will leverage the results-based business processes and IT solutions
that made the company one of the largest providers of managed services for
state, county and local governments. For the federal government, ACS'
mature solutions will allow agencies to focus on their core mandates while
pursuing additional efficiencies.
"The changes that are rippling through the economy are also affecting
the federal government, which means agencies will be forced to work with
fewer resources," said Tim Conway, ACS senior vice president and managing
director for Federal Solutions. "ACS can provide immediate cost benefit to
government agencies and enable them to provide enhanced levels of service.
We are focused on the future of government."
ACS' solutions for the federal government can offer:
Increased Efficiency: ACS will offer government agencies the paperless
mailroom, where mail is converted into images for faster, flexible, and
secure processing and storage. ACS currently processes more than seven
million mailroom documents each day.
Money-Saving Convenience: ACS converts funds distribution from paper
checks to a customized electronic payment card solution, which can help to
lower costs and increase ease-of-use. Our solution is designed especially
for government programs and used by more than three million cardholders.
On-time Delivery: ACS is a pioneer in claims administration and
processing, and will offer federal agencies forward-thinking innovations
including the most feature-rich Web portal solution available in the state
and federal health care market. ACS currently supports health care programs
in more than 35 states and within the federal government.
Enhanced Customer Service: ACS call/customer care center services will
offer federal agencies the best available technology and operational
excellence to ensure that the needs of constituents are handled efficiently
and effectively. ACS call center staff handles one million calls each day
for government and commercial clients.
"What sets ACS apart is that we enter the marketplace with 20 years of
experience with the results-based solutions we offer, and our reputation of
understanding and exceeding the expectations of our clients," said Joe
Doherty, executive vice president and group president of ACS' Government
Solutions Group. "We are determined to be a strong and creative operational
partner to government agencies."
ACS' solutions are well-proven with federal agencies. At the Department
of Education, ACS services student loans for over nine million people and
saves taxpayers and the government $100 million each year. For the
Department of Labor, ACS annually processes 3.5 million medical bills and
pharmacy prescriptions. ACS also serves the State Department, Department of
Homeland Security, Treasury Department, and the Social Security
Administration.
ACS' re-entry into the federal market marks the end of a limited
noncompete agreement and gives the company unrestricted access to pursue
federal business.
