Continues operations at new Louisville, Ky. facility NASHVILLE,
Tenn., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc. (ACS) has completed its new TripPak SERVICES(TM)
facilities in Louisville, Ky., and is now partnering with UPS
following its transition from its former location in Wilmington,
Ohio. "Our partnership with UPS gives our clients more choices and
greater convenience, without any price changes," said Kelley
Walkup, division vice president and general manager of ACS
Expedited Solutions. "Our relationship with UPS offers additional
reliability and network breadth to exceed our clients'
expectations." Originally, ACS established operations in Wilmington
to be close to its previous service provider's (DHL) service hub to
enable processing time-sensitive documents rapidly. During this
past summer, DHL closed some of its service locations. "It became
clear that the best plan of action to keep our service level high
for our customers was to relocate to Louisville, closer to UPS. We
immediately began planning proactively to ensure a smooth
transition," said Walkup. "We'll conclude the re-location this week
with no service interruption for our customers. Our comprehensive
planning and testing of our operations will ensure a seamless
transition for all of our customers." Now located near the UPS
delivery hub, primary package sorting and delivery for the TripPak
EXPRESS(TM) and TripPak OVERNIGHT(TM) services will begin at the
recently completed ACS facility on Strawberry Lane in Louisville on
Friday, November. 14. ACS, the recognized leader in business
process improvement and outsourced IT solutions in the truckload
market segment, will continue using more than 1,300 TripPak drop
boxes, with the addition of the vast network of UPS boxes and
facilities. In addition, the relocation provides both full and
part-time employment opportunities for Louisville-area residents.
ACS, a global FORTUNE 500 company with about 63,000 people
supporting client operations reaching more than 100 countries,
provides business process outsourcing and information technology
solutions to world-class commercial and government clients. The
company's Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "ACS." Learn more about ACS at
