ACS Tops Industry Listing for Most Announced BPO and IT Outsourcing Contracts in 2005

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS), a premier provider of business process outsourcing and information technology solutions, announced today that it heads a list compiled by Gartner Dataquest, a leading industry analyst firm in the tech services sector, of the top 10 outsourcing vendors in terms of business process outsourcing (BPO) or information technology (IT) outsourcing contracts announced in 2005. ACS leads the list with 41 announced deals, followed by IBM with 39, CSC with 27, EDS with 24 and Accenture with 18.

The analyst firm also reported that corporate BPO and IT outsourcing is happening with more and more frequency among the largest global companies.

"We're pleased to see the growing trend in BPO and IT outsourcing by companies around the world, and proud to have announced more deals than any of our peer services providers in 2005. That's a testament to the caliber of services we provide our clients everyday."
