ACS and Protech Solutions, Inc. Announce Initiative for Next-Generation Child
Support System

DALLAS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services,
Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced an initiative with Protech Solutions, Inc. to
offer CSEnext, a new state child support enforcement (CSE) solution designed
to increase case collections, staff productivity and system savings.
    "Combining ACS' proven expertise and Protech's unequaled track record of
designing child support systems, the power of CSEnext will benefit our clients
and the people they serve," said Joe Doherty, executive vice president and
group president of ACS' Government Solutions Group.  "This is another example
of how ACS understands how to find forward-thinking solutions for all levels
of governments and the issues they face every day."
    The next-generation enterprise framework allows states to modernize their
legacy system through flexible Web-based modules, which is less expensive and
easier than a full-system replacement.  CSEnext also maintains the state's
federal system certification.
    Developed by Protech, CSEnext is the nation's most innovative child
support case management application.  "Through CSEnext modules and a low-risk
development framework, ACS and Protech will deliver a risk-managed child
support modular solution that will improve services dramatically through
innovative case management solutions," said Nagaraj Garimalla, CEO of Protech
Solutions, Inc.  "These are mature, tested modules that can be implemented
incrementally and can co-exist with current child support systems."
    ACS is the largest provider of managed services for state and local
governments -- including county governments -- including more than 1,700 state
and local government entities. ACS is the largest provider of BPO services in
the government sector, including more than $7.5 billion in beneficiary
payments through its electronic payment card or stored value card services as
well as supporting more than 23 million Medicaid recipients, processing nearly
550 million Medicaid healthcare claims annually.
    ACS processes nearly half of the nation's child support payments, more
than $13 billion per year.
