California
DALLAS, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services,
Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced an amended contract with Solano County,
California, to establish and operate a 311 customer service center within the
county. The 3.5-year contract has a value of $4 million.
The agreement leverages ACS' existing information technology (IT) services
contract with the county and ACS' global call center expertise to implement a
311 customer service center to handle citizen requests for non-emergency
services. ACS will provide implementation services, including development of a
knowledge database and service request workflow. ACS employees will manage and
staff the customer service center.
The consolidated customer service center is a key component of the Solano
County Board of Supervisors' goal to improve customer service. Along with
processing citizen requests, the new center will track performance trends in
the delivery of services, helping the county better understand and meet the
evolving needs and expectations of citizens in the 21st century.
"Through this pilot program, the county will be able to move swiftly in
the development of the customer service center, taking advantage of ACS' deep
experience in this area," said Solano County Administrator Michael D. Johnson.
"The county is partnering with a company that has a proven track record in
Solano County and is well-recognized for the quality of customer service
provided by its service centers."
ACS currently operates more than 70 customer service centers globally in
support of government and commercial clients, handling 750,000 calls daily.
The centers employ 17,000 professionals.

provided support the county's infrastructure, including desktop, applications,
and helpdesk environments. ACS and the county in 2006 signed a renewed
contract with a length of up to seven years if all options are exercised.
"We're focused on expanding our successful relationship with Solano
County," said Ann Kieffaber, ACS managing director, State and Local Solutions.

identify and deliver innovative solutions that benefit the county's citizens."
