"Innovation is one of the hallmarks of our business and is the creative spark that drives our success," said Acxiom Company Leader Charles D. Morgan. "Our technical innovation gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and our workplace innovation makes Acxiom a great place to work. Innovation is imbedded in the spirit of Acxiom. It is reflected in our willingness and ability to adapt to changing business conditions and client needs." Morgan said Acxiom's IT professionals are responsible for the development and delivery of Acxiom's Customer Information Infrastructure (CII), which is believed to be the world's largest commercial grid-computing platform. In the past year Acxiom has received significant industry recognition based on its CII initiative, including the Computerworld Honor Foundation's 21 Century Achievement Award, CIO magazine's 2004 CIO 100 award for IT-enabled agility and The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) 2004 Best Practices in Data Warehousing Award for "Radical Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence."

Don Tennant, editor in chief of Computerworld, said that this year's Best Places to Work rankings 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."
