Service Enables Plan Sponsors to Evaluate Health of Their Organization`s 401(k)
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) is introducing Healthy 401(k)
Plan Analytics, a comprehensive software tool that enables plan sponsors to
evaluate the health of their organization`s 401(k) plan and their employees`
retirement readiness by tracking and analyzing participant behavior and trends. 

ACS` Healthy 401(k) Plan Analytics is a new service addition to its defined
contribution management solution, which addresses the complex plan challenges HR
managers face, from cost to quality to operational to employee engagement. The
tool is easy-to-use, offering access to 401(k) data and infinite reporting
possibilities, enabling ACS and its clients to readily draw conclusions about
company plans and participants. 

"Our new analytics service is an extension of our commitment to provide
innovative defined contribution/401(k) management," said Rohail Khan, executive
managing director of the ACS Total Benefits Outsourcing business. "In today`s
economic environment, plan sponsors are concerned about the overall health of
their plans and want to ensure their participants have the opportunity to retire
more comfortably. This new innovation is in line with our commitment to drive
analytical insights that help our clients generate outcomes aligned to their
overall people strategies." 

ACS` Healthy 401(k) Plan Analytics enables plan sponsors to view aggregate data,
including participant rates of return, balance, investment elections and
activity in all funds, by any participant sub-set such as location, division, or
compensation level. This participant group and plan level view enables HR
managers to analyze trends and determine the retirement readiness of their
participants, and address participant groups accordingly. 

In addition, plan sponsors can analyze the rates of return of various plan
investments for multiple time periods, allowing them to determine the percentage
of the plan invested in those funds and how they compare to benchmarks. 

"ACS` analytical tool is highly intuitive and easy-to-use, giving us the ability
to analyze any plan participant information we can possibly imagine for any
combination of populations," said Spencer H. Stooksbury, director of Corporate
Benefits, Great American Insurance Group. "You can analyze everything from
participants` personal rates of return to the adequacy of savings for
retirement. The tool provides everything a plan sponsor needs to determine if
their plan is serving participants well. The flexibility and depth of reporting
offers us unparalleled analysis that leads to better plan decisions, which is
the type of service offering we`ve come to expect from ACS."

resources function and services are provided to more than 4 million employees
and retirees in more than 80 countries worldwide in 20 languages. ACS` breadth
of comprehensive HR business process outsourcing offerings includes HR
