Acxiom� Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced a three-year agreement to provide its secure and robust utility server, storage and data protection services to Sonoco, a global supplier of industrial and consumer packaging solutions founded in 1899.

The Acxiom infrastructure cloud will enable Sonoco to rapidly deploy servers, storage and backup when needed to quickly meet changing business demands. Because consumption is billed on a utility, Sonoco will pay only for services used. The on-premise nature of the solution ensures that information security is maintained continuously.

�Acxiom has provided infrastructure services to Sonoco, from mainframe management to server management, since 1998,� said Bernie Campbell, CIO of Sonoco. �Most recently, we�ve begun a transition from dedicated servers to Acxiom�s standardized utility environment. This move will increase efficiencies, simplify workload management and provide redundancy and scalability.�

Acxiom, which processes and protects more consumer data than anyone in the world, currently manages Sonoco�s IT environment in support of various consumer and industrial packaging, carton, signage and pallet manufacturing locations and factories worldwide.

�Companies today are clamoring for commercial-grade, secure services that can be provisioned quickly,� said Marty Sunde, Acxiom�s senior vice president of global infrastructure management services and customer data integration. �Acxiom�s enterprise cloud services represent a pay-as-you-go, secure and standardized solution that enables our customers to rapidly deploy servers, storage and backup. It also helps them reduce the complexity of their IT environments � all critical benefits in a challenging business climate.�

Acxiom�s on-premise enterprise cloud services provide clients all of the benefits of a secure, standard environment without the capital investment. Data-intensive operations such as Sonoco rely on a secure, robust IT infrastructure to drive daily business operations, from manufacturing to ERP to accounting. Key benefits offered by Acxiom�s cloud services include:
