Within days, he founded Affiliated Computer Service which offers business process outsourcing solutions and information technology services to non-profit organizations, government agencies, and businesses like E-ZPass. Initially, ACS was founded to offer data services to the finance industry, but through Deason's leadership, the company experienced significant expansions. It began offering services to other sectors and industries such as education, government, financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, travel, transportation, insurance and communication.

When Affiliated Computer Service went public, he sold the company to Xerox in 2010 for $6.4 billion. ACS is now operating in around 100 countries and is generating an annual revenue of $6 billion. As of September 2009, the company already hired 74,000 employees.

Currently based in Dallas Texas, Deason is married to his fifth wife Katerina. He has three children.
