Acxiom(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: ACXM) announced it has been named
one of the "Best Places to Work in Information Technology" by IDG's
Computerworld magazine, the fourth time the company has been ranked
in the top 100 work environments for technology professionals. The
annual Computerworld survey ranks the top 100 best places to work
based on extensive company and employee questionnaires regarding
benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention.
"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,

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." "It's an exciting time to be at
Acxiom, and that is truly because of the vision and talent of our
IT professionals. They play a tremendous role in making Acxiom such
a great place to work," said Richard Howe, leader of the Acxiom
Marketing Organization. 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." Acxiom also was named
