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.”
