ACS Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.

The State of Illinois has announced that new technology implemented by Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) will enable the state to cut costs and more efficiently distribute child support payments.

ACS operates the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) for the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, processing child support payments and providing customer care services. The SDU, which ACS has operated since 2003, receives and distributes more than seven million child support payments annually valued at more than $1 billion.

ACS is increasing efficiency by integrating all of the technology within the SDU into a unified solution. The new technology will save the state $40 million through fiscal year 2015.

ACS is a leader in child support services—processing half of the nation’s child support payments, more than $13 billion through services in 15 states.

“Our work in Illinois shows how ACS innovation can positively affect both operations and costs,” said Joseph Doherty, executive vice president and group president, ACS Government Solutions. “Helping the state to provide improved service and save money is the core of ACS’ mission.”
