Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT) ("Perficient"), the leading
digital transformation consulting firm serving Global 2000® and
other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today
announced that it has received the 2017 IBM Beacon Award for
Outstanding Watson Solution given during the IBM PartnerWorld
Leadership Conference in Las Vegas.
The Beacon Awards, an integral part of IBM’s Business Partner
program, recognize select business partners who deliver exceptional
IBM-based solutions that drive business value and transform the way
clients and industries do business in the cognitive era. This
year’s awards honor achievement across 19 solution areas including
analytics, collaboration, cloud, commerce, cognitive, the Internet
of Things, security, and Watson. Winners were selected by a panel
of IBM executives, industry analysts, and media members.
Perficient’s 2017 award recognizes its Watson-based predictive
modeling solution for patient readmissions, designed to better
identify patients who need interventions and ultimately reduce
readmission rates. The solution extracts key information from
previously untapped sources of unstructured data, such as doctors’
notes and psycho-social information.
“Many of our healthcare customers have been challenged to make
demonstrable, evidence-based decisions to improve patient care and
engagement while dealing with the growing amount of data they have
available to them,” said Kevin Nunnally, Perficient’s National
Partner Executive for IBM sales. “Perficient has followed the
technology for several years and started out investing in our
expertise and educating our clients on what Watson is and what it
can do. This award is tremendous recognition for our success in
helping our clients and our partners work with Watson and
understand the scope of its capabilities.”
This is Perficient’s third consecutive Beacon Award. In 2015,
the company received the Outstanding Information Management
Solution award for its Health Analytics Gateway, an information
management framework that streamlines data processing for
healthcare organizations. In 2016, Perficient received the
Outstanding Enterprise Cloud Solution award for its Immersion
solution, a migration-as-a-service for the IBM Bluemix cloud
platform that boosts in-cloud application development efficiency
nearly 40 percent over standard migration practices.
“By delivering innovative solutions to drive business value,
Beacon Award winners help transform the way their clients and
industries do business,” said Marc Dupaquier, general manager, IBM
Global Business Partners. “We’d like to congratulate Perficient on
winning the Beacon Award for Outstanding Watson Solution and
delivering exceptional client satisfaction and results.”
