Acxiom Corp. has quietly built a $1.5 billion business aggregating and managing more than 20 billion customer and prospect records for more than 1,000 global companies.
An innovative culture has garnered numerous awards for this 38-year-old company; for example, it brought grid technology into the mainstream by developing the Customer Information Infrastructure (CII), and it did away with formal titles (like CIO) in 1992. Kevin Zaffaroni, Acxiom's IT organization leader, says, "We continued to enhance this culture of innovation. That's one of the reasons why the world's largest companies come to Conway, Arkansas, to have us do their work."
Join us to learn more about the IT organization and its leader in an innovative company that's endured for nearly 40 years.
