ACSYS Moves Headquarters to Atlanta.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 1998--ACSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:ACSY), a leading provider of specialty professional staffing services, today announced the opening of its new corporate headquarters in Atlanta. ACSYS comes to its new corporate facility from its previous location in Washington, D.C.

"We are consolidating our corporate resources in Atlanta to capture operational synergies and build a stronger foundation to support our growing business," said Timothy Mann, Jr., Chief Executive Officer. Mann is a long-time resident of Atlanta and has served as the company's CEO since October, 1997.

In addition, to the new corporate office, ACSYS operates two Atlanta offices that provide accounting, finance and information technology (I.T.) staffing. The company recently announced the completion of its acquisition of ICON Search and Consulting, Inc., an Atlanta-based information technology staffing company with a leading presence in SAP staffing.

"The recent acquisition of ICON combined with the existing strength of our Atlanta financial search and staffing business makes Atlanta our largest market," Mann added. "We will be a more than $40 million presence in the Atlanta accounting, finance and I.T. staffing markets in 1998. We're very excited about our continued growth opportunities in Atlanta and in our other markets nationwide."

David C. Cooper, Chairman of the Board commented, "ACSYS has strong ties to the Atlanta community. In my nearly two decades of doing business in Atlanta, I've watched the city grow into the fourth largest home of Fortune 500 companies and nurture innumerable growth companies. Locally, our business has grown right along with the city. Now as we build ACSYS, Inc. into the nation's leading specialty professional staffing service, we seek heightened visibility and strengthened ties with the greater Atlanta community."

Cooper has served as Chairman of the Board since the company's formation in May 1997. Cooper founded David C. Cooper & Associates, an Atlanta-based firm financial search and staffing in 1981 and served as its president until May 1997. David C. Cooper & Associates merged with Atlanta-based CPA Search and Staffing, Inc. to form the Atlanta division of ACSYS in September 1997.
