ACS Wins Renewed Defined Contribution Outsourcing Contract With Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho

DALLAS, March 27 -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) , a premier provider of business process outsourcing and information technology solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a renewal of its defined contribution outsourcing contract with the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI), a multi-billion dollar retirement plan providing long-term benefits for more than 100,000 members who have had careers in public service. The three-year contract is valued at $4.7 million, with a two-year renewal option.

ACS has been providing participant recordkeeping, communications, and compliance services for PERSI members of their supplemental 401(k) plan since 2001. These services will continue under the terms of the renewed agreement, with ACS enhancing its communications services to include consulting services that will promote PERSI's defined contribution plan, which ACS supports. ACS will also manage a state-of-the-art participant website on behalf of PERSI.

ACS won the business despite strong competition, underscoring its successful track record with PERSI, as well as a history of delivering exceptional service in the defined contribution plan arena. The contract is one of a number of recent renewals for ACS in the human resource outsourcing (HRO) and the total benefits outsourcing lines of business.

"ACS delivers expert knowledge of complex issues and a consistent commitment to technical excellence that translates into efficient, accurate, and customer-focused servicing for our members," said Diane Kaiser, Choice Plan 401(k) Manager of PERSI. "With ACS' help, we have measurably enhanced our member services in the 401(k) plan, and at the same time, improved and streamlined efficiencies. We value ACS' partnership approach and flexibility, especially in the somewhat unique environment of a governmental 401(k) plan, which allows us to work closely together to effectively meet the diverse needs of our members."

"Total benefits outsourcing is a core competency of ACS' HRO business," said David Bywater, ACS Senior Managing Director, HRO Solutions. "Paired with our industry-leading consulting capabilities, ACS has distinguished itself globally as a top HRO provider -- offering comprehensive solutions and best-in-class service and results that help our clients improve their overall performance in human resources. We're extremely pleased about continuing to support PERSI and its members under this renewed agreement."

ACS and PERSI support 680 public employers within the PERSI supplemental defined contribution program, including 63,000 active members, 26,000 retirees, and 18,000 inactive members.
