Lynn BlodgettA Message from Lynn Blodgett, ACS CEO

Darwin Deason founded Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) in 1988 on principles. Those core values are client-first, hard work, persistence, keeping promises, taking care of each other, and finding creative solutions to real-world business challenges.

Our driven, knowledgeable, practical people make ACS different from our competitors.

When given the opportunity to show what we can do and how well we do it, clients almost invariably hire and stay with us. In fact about 95% of our contracts renew. Clients like our people and the straight-forward approach we take to solving their operational issues.

I want people to see us for who we are—operations experts that deliver on our promises to our clients. In fact, every attribute below is how our clients, and the advisors in the market, describe ACS. We’re proud to be the world’s leading operations partner.
