DALLAS, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. , a premier provider of business process outsourcing and information technology solutions, announced today that it has been named, for the second year in a row, to HRO Today magazine's "Baker's Dozen" list of top providers of training and development services within the human resource outsourcing (HRO) industry. ACS provided training and development services for 2.2 million employees in 2006.
ACS was chosen from an initial field of thirty training and development providers who were asked to supply key data and facts about the services they offered. This included their largest clients, annual revenues for training and development services, and most importantly, how many outside employees the companies trained in 2006. Some of the ranked services providers are purely learning providers, while others, including ACS, offer a complete package of HRO services that include training and development offerings.
"This ranking again lends credibility to our claims of leadership and innovation in the HRO sector," said David Bywater, ACS Senior Managing Director of HRO Solutions. "The fact that we're included on this list draws attention to the depth and breadth of our HRO capabilities, and to the abilities and quality of the people who serve our many clients."
Currently, ACS provides a broad range of HRO services for a variety of clients supporting three million people in more than 80 countries and in 20 languages.
