ACS Enhances Competitive Capabilities With Acquisition of Assets of Albion, Inc.

DALLAS, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. today announced it is enhancing its capabilities in the Health and Human Services (HHS) sector with the completed acquisition of certain assets of Albion, Inc., a company specializing in integrated eligibility software solutions. The purchase price of $25.5 million, subject to certain adjustments, was funded through a combination of cash and borrowings under ACS' existing credit facility. The trailing 12 month revenue of the acquired assets was approximately $25 million.

The acquisition enables ACS to address key HHS challenges facing State and Local government clients, including: expensive legacy systems; a need for cost effectiveness; and a client-centered approach to service delivery. The acquired proprietary @Vantage software addresses these clients' challenges while meeting Federal financial support requirements for a commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) solution.

"This capability is emerging as a standard for federal financial support among health and human services agencies," said Tom Burlin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ACS Government Solutions. "Albion's @Vantage solution and our extensive experience in eligibility will provide ACS with a distinct advantage in the growing eligibility services market that will translate into better service for our clients."

The combination of ACS' BPO service offerings with the @Vantage solution enables ACS to offer an end-to-end integrated eligibility offering across multiple HHS programs, including temporary assistance for needy families, food stamps, and Medicaid and significantly enhances ACS' ability to bid competitively on future state eligibility systems contracts.

Founded in 1994, Albion is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional operations in Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Approximately 170 employees will transition to ACS as part of the acquisition.

ACS, a global FORTUNE 500 company with 58,000 people supporting client operations reaching more than 100 countries, provides business process outsourcing and information technology solutions to world-class commercial and government clients.
