Business Wire
Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced it ranked in
the top 13 percent on the 2009 InformationWeek 500, an annual
ranking of the 500 most innovative users of business technology in
the United States.
This year’s rank of 63 marks the highest achieved by Acxiom in
its six consecutive years on the list.
“Acxiom has made a concerted investment in Internet, cloud and
related platforms over the past 18 months, and that investment is
paying off in the way we’re able to integrate and streamline our
offerings to support client engagements,” said John Meyer, Acxiom
CEO and president.
The InformationWeek 500 tracks the technology, strategies,
investments and administrative practices of the best-known U.S.
companies. Several Acxiom clients earned spots on the list this
year as well, reflecting the caliber of the business relationships
Acxiom has formed through the years.
“We rely on Acxiom’s innovations in technology to allow us to
focus on enabling our business value for our customers,” said Manoj
Kulkarni, senior vice president and chief information officer of
Career Education Corporation. “The recognition by InformationWeek
confirms our trust in Acxiom for technology innovation and service.
With both of us ranking highly on the InformationWeek 500, it
proves the power of our partnership.”
Acxiom’s innovation was recognized in three areas that
ultimately resulted in its top 100 ranking: commercial-grade cloud
computing initiatives, standardization initiatives and multichannel
products and solutions for clients.
“Our cloud computing, standardization and multichannel solutions
demonstrate the most effective solutions for lowering costs,
overcoming challenges and creating value for our clients and our
business,” said David Guzmán, Acxiom chief information officer.
The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate
rankings as they spotlight the power of innovation in information
technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT
spenders.
“For over 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most
innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek
Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. “Year after year, InformationWeek 500
companies harness technology to improve efficiency, boost
productivity, drive revenue and establish a competitive advantage.
We applaud this year’s winners, and the CIOs and other executives
whose ingenuity and risk taking are at the center of business
technology innovation.”
