one of the "Best Places to Work in Information Technology" by IDG's
Computerworld magazine, the fourth time the company has been ranked

represent companies across the industry that recognize how a strong
commitment to and investment in employees is synonymous with
creating a great IT work environment. "Once again, we found that IT
professionals are looking for rewarding and challenging projects,
access to leading-edge technologies, career growth and development
and a comfortable work/life balance," Tennant said. "Our Best
Places companies not only offer these benefits, but do so in a
manner that goes well-above industry norms." Acxiom also was named
