Active Archiving Solution Enables Fortune 500 Outsourcing Services Provider To Satisfy Customer Demands For Fast Access To Document Images

Digitizing documents and storing them as images is a simple yet critical capability. It allows an organization to preserve important financial records and other business documents in their original form for reference and/or regulatory compliance purposes. The alternative - maintaining and storing a massive paper trail - is an incredible burden to the organization, not to mention that it puts critical documents at risk should disaster strike.

For Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), digital storage of document images is especially vital for many of the reasons above. Clients outsource accounting, IT, and other major operations to ACS. As a result, ACS has generated huge repositories of document images related to business activities of other companies. With the rapid growth of ACS' service portfolio and customer base, the volume of data they need to manage is increasing at a steady pace. Regulatory requirements are further fueling a growing volume of data.

ACS, a global FORTUNE 500 company with more than 55,000 people supporting client operations reaching nearly 100 countries, provides business process outsourcing and information technology solutions to world-class commercial and government clients. The Company's Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ACS." ACS, with more than $5 billion in revenue in FY 2005, was recently the recipient of the 2006 Outsourcing Excellence award from the Outsourcing Center, the outreach and communications arm of the Everest Group, one of the world's most renowned outsourcing advisory companies.
