Former Fedex Sales and Training Manager Joins ACS Technologies as Executive Director of Sales

FLORENCE, SC, June 29, 2006—ACS Technologies (www.acstechnologies.com), the leading provider of software for churches, schools and other faith based organizations, today announces the appointment of Ben Jordan as Executive Director of Sales. Jordan joined the company in February and is already leading the company's 30-member sales team to measures of success.

Jordan comes to ACS Technologies after four years as Director of Operations for White's Chapel UMC Church in Southlake, Texas. Prior to this position, Jordan worked for Federal Express Corporation for 12 years and contributed significantly as a District Sales Manager and Facilitator of Global Sales Training.

"ACS Technologies is very fortunate to have a seasoned sales manager like Ben joining its ranks. His sales training experience will be invaluable to the fine sales consultants of the company," says Craig Hearon COO/CFO for ACS Technologies. "Plus, with his first hand working knowledge of church operations and ministry, he will be a tremendous asset to both current clients and future clients".

Jordan was attracted to ACS Technologies because he felt that he could assist churches through technology business services. "I saw an opportunity to join a company that makes a difference in this world. I wanted to help the sales team at ACS Technologies be the best that they can be, both professionally and personally," comments Jordan. Through his prior experience as director or operations for a large church coupled with his background in sales, the position at ACS Technologies was a perfect fit.

Jordan feels success is measured in how a company listens to its clients and meets their needs effectively. "As sales people, our job is to really listen to what our clients are saying and ask the appropriate questions in order to find out how specifically to provide them with tools to best do their jobs. To do this, we need to not only know our products and services, but understand their ministry goals as well."

Jordan obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He has been involved in many professional and civic organizations, such as: Board of Directors for the North Texas Commissions, Past Director of Rotary Club International and Chairman of American Red Cross.

Originally from Rock Hill, SC, he is now living in Florence, SC, where the ACS Technologies' headquarters is located. He and his wife Kari of 25 years have three children: Bryan, age 21, Daniel, age 17 and Ann Kathryn, age 15.
