ACS Executive Mark Boxer Advances Employment of Disabled, Accessible Workplace Technologies

Boxer`s Keynote Address at Industry Conference Emphasizes the Business Value of
Creating Opportunities for the Disabled
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
The lingering recession is exposing disproportionate unemployment levels on a
largely overlooked demographic group - the disabled, according to an advocate
for persons with disabilities. Mark Boxer, senior vice president of global
technology services for Affiliated Computer Services (NYSE: ACS), will deliver
the keynote address today discussing the unique contributions of persons with
disabilities at the Assistive Technology Industry Association Chicago Leadership
Conference, in Schaumburg, Illinois.

With the availability of assistive technologies and workplace accommodations,
creating employment opportunities for the disabled makes good business sense,
which is the theme of Boxer`s address. Boxer will profile several associates who
are part of ACS` employee base and who are making an impact when matched with
the right opportunity.

"These associates are dedicated, highly motivated and have a strong work ethic
and they inspire my ACS colleagues and me every single day," said Boxer. "Only
38 percent of persons with disabilities are employed, yet they are part of a
large, well-educated talent pool of people who can make a difference when given
the chance to contribute to their fullest potential."

Boxer says inconsistent business barriers continue to circulate throughout some
sectors of corporate America, including a myth that employing persons with
disabilities comes with inherent additional costs associated with their
employment.

"That`s a myth," said Boxer. "Don`t get scared off by the myth of accommodation.
Reasonable accommodation is far less than many people think."

ACS is committed to employing persons with disabilities and has hired more than
200 people throughout the U.S. since the inception of a dedicated recruiting
program in 2008. These employees include a full time customer service
representative who is blind and uses a special text recognition system when
interacting with callers; and a call center agent who is using a modified
keyboard after suffering a mild stroke.

Boxer is a recognized advocate for advancing the employment of persons with
disabilities and providing accessible workplace technologies. He is a recipient
of the prestigious Tony Coelho Award highlighting his commitment and efforts to
influence other CEOs, and a recipient of the American Association of People with
Disabilities "Justice for All" Award.
