DALLAS, February 21, 2011– ACS, A Xerox Company (NYSE: XRX), today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Unamic/HCN, the largest privately-owned customer care provider in the Benelux.  

The agreement marks ACS' first acquisition in the European customer care market - building on the company's global capabilities with a management team that provides regional market expertise. The transaction is expected to be final following the completion of customary closing conditions.

"Unamic's clients will quickly see the benefits of the acquisition as they access the expanded capabilities of our combined companies," said Chris Tranquill, group president of ACS' business processing solutions group. "For ACS, we take an important step forward in expanding our global delivery network, giving clients more options to better meet their business and customer needs."  

The Dutch-speaking customer care market is one of the most sophisticated sectors in Europe by embracing new technology and business processes. Unamic's 14 facilities and 2,200 employees will join ACS' growing customer care services in emerging international markets. Upon the close of the acquisition, the company will operate as "Unamic/HCN, A Xerox Company."

"Unamic is an ideal fit with ACS' approach to fulfilling clients' customer care needs through innovation," said Simon Verzijl, managing director of Unamic. "We share a common business culture that revolves around the client as well as a business model that pursues a diversified customer base."  

Unamic/HCN's expertise in Dutch, French, Flemish and Turkish contributes to ACS' broad suite of languages. ACS currently offers customer care services in 20 languages from 140 locations around the world, including the United States, Spain, Jamaica, Argentina and the Philippines. The company's 38,000 customer care agents receive more than 1.6 million calls daily.  

Unamic's subsidiary, Any-G, is not subject to the acquisition and will continue to operate independently.

Unamic/HCN Interim & Training, the Unamic/HCN business unit that specializes in interim management, training and advice in the field of client processes is set to separate from the famous contact center organization, and will continue to operate under its own name. The new company will be entirely the property of the current directors, Marc van Grinsven and Emile Elsbeek, and the new company name will be announced soon.

The reason for this autonomization is that the parent organization Unamic/HCN wants to focus one hundred percent on its core activity of 'outsourcing client processes' with its other business units Unamic/HCN Contact Centers and Unamic/HCN Financial Services. Offering external training and interim management services does not fit in with this strategy.

As van Grinsven says, "Unamic/HCN Interim & Training was already profiled in the industry as an independent business unit, and we came to realize that apart from our joint background in client processes, there was less and less synergy between the 'interim management' and 'outsourcing' company activities. We can see the advantages of this autonomization, in terms of the positioning and identity of our new organization."
