ACS Technologies Continues to Benefit its employees and the Community Through
Valuable Company Programs

New Employee Benefits to Encourage Healthy Lifestyle, Community Involvement

FLORENCE, SC, November 1, 2004—ACS Technologies (www.acstechnologies.com), the
leading provider of management software for churches, private schools, and
other faith-based organizations, continues to meet the needs of its employees
and help improve their lives by creating programs that encourage employees to
adopt a healthy lifestyle and give back to the community through volunteering.
New company benefits include a company-assisted healthy weight-management
program through Weight Watchers and confidential smoking cessation program
through Smoke-Free Tomorrow to help employees achieve their personal goals.

ACS Technologies offers full-time employees an increasing package of
competitive benefits that include comprehensive medical insurance, matched 401k
(75% on the dollar up to 5% of an employee's gross salary), paid vacation and
sick leave, and the McLeod Employee Assistance Program to handle personal and
professional conflict resolution, just to name a few. Through the Weight
Watchers program, ACS Technologies pays half of an employee's first time
enrollment fee, and holds meetings during normal business hours in the new
company building to make weight-loss goals easier to attain.

Connie Lee, Human Resources Manager, has been an instrumental advocate of these
programs. ''Most people have significant demands on their time outside of work.
By holding meetings at the company during work hours, it affords them time to
participate in the program and reach their personal goals.''

''ACS has really taken a big step in managing employee well-being by offering
Weight Watchers at the office. Coupled with our McLeod Fitness Center discount,
it gives employees a comprehensive, convenient way to stay healthy,'' states
employee Carol White.

Smoke-free Tomorrow, a confidential smoking cessation program is another way
ACS Technologies has responded to the request of the employees. Partnered with
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, trained representatives communicate with company
participants in order to construct individualized plans to aid them in stopping
smoking. ACS Technologies feels that this is a valuable lifestyle change, and
monetarily supports each participant in this program by paying a portion of the
fee.

''We will continue to offer programs that will improve the quality of life of
our employees and for the Pee Dee community. We care a great deal about our
employees and will do whatever we can to help them live a healthier and better
life. These programs benefit all involved and we are grateful to be able to
offer them,'' comments Billy Campbell, Chairman of the Board.

ACS Technologies believes strongly that it is imperative to give back to the
community on a regular basis. This month, ACS Technologies had a blood drive in
which thirty-nine employees participated; eleven who were first time donors.
Thirty pints of blood were received, which will greatly aid in reducing the
blood shortage problem in South Carolina. These programs not only help people
personally and benefit the community, but help the company recognize the needs
of others practically, which falls in line with the company's mission to be a
partner in ministry with its 20,000+ clients around the country.

In addition to providing jobs and livelihood for close to 300 employees in the
area, ACS Technologies also benefits the community by supporting and
participating in efforts for the Manna House, Pee Dee Coalition, American Heart
Association, March of Dimes, Light the Night for the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society, and the United Way.

Whether devoting company time to help employees live longer and healthier lives
or providing outreach services that impact the community on a humanitarian
level, ACS Technologies continues to be at the forefront of meeting needs
within the company and beyond.
