Acxiom Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced that company
leader Charles D. Morgan and Bill McDermott, President and CEO of
SAP Americas, unveiled how the two companies intend to jointly
market Acxiom's success in delivering a single, accurate, real-time
customer view within SAP's market-leading multi-channel CRM
solution, mySAP(TM) Customer Relationship Management (mySAP(TM)
CRM). SAP clients and prospects can leverage Acxiom's AbiliTec(R)
customer data integration technology and InfoBase(R) products,
which provide the largest collection of U.S. consumer information

dollars while strengthening their most valuable asset - the
relationship with their customers. During SAP's annual summer sales
meeting, the leaders revealed their intention to jointly market
SAP's ability to deliver enterprise-wide customer information to
key customer touch points and Acxiom's 30-plus years of delivering
data, analytics and customer data integration. The presentation
focused on the benefits to customers, including empowering
customers to engage in true customer relationship management. "As
more and more companies move toward a hybrid model of on-site
master-data-management hubs, nurtured by data service providers
such as Acxiom, it is natural that companies with complementary
solutions, such as Acxiom and SAP, work together to maximize
customer benefit," said Richard K. Howe, Acxiom's Marketing and
Strategy Leader. "Critical customer applications leveraging mySAP
CRM are information-driven. Acxiom lives and breathes information
management, augmenting the quality and availability of data to turn
information into intelligence. By combining mySAP CRM with Acxiom's
data strengths, customers will realize significant benefits." "SAP
understands the importance to customers of combining world-class
CRM applications with accurate and complete customer content," said
Pat Bakey, Senior Vice President of CRM, SAP Americas. "By working
with Acxiom in the future we will allow our customers to make more
informed and relevant decisions when interacting with customers and
prospects. Any time you can improve the customer experience, the
benefits translate to the bottom line." About Acxiom Corporation
