Perficient, Inc. is a "digital transformation" consulting firm serving Global 2000 and enterprise customers throughout North America using digital experience, business optimization and industry solutions.[2] Perficient has a presence across North America, Europe, India, and China.[3] Their work includes information technology, management consulting, custom development, and platform implementations through partnerships with companies including IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Salesforce.com. The firm primarily performs project-based work, a large portion of which involves business intelligence and portal collaboration. Many of their customers look to use technology to support a product or service that is differentiating for them, so customization is a common service offered by the firm. Perficient also has offshore capabilities.[4]

Perficient's clients have included AT&T, Bank of America, the Boy Scouts of America, Family Dollar, Lowe’s, Piedmont Natural Gas, Wells Fargo,[4] Allstate, Atlanta Gas Light, Chick-fil-A, Duke University, Electrolux, Garmin, Georgia-Pacific, Meijer, Pacific Life, Time Warner Cable,[5] Shell Oil, Cox Communications, the US Navy, Northrup Grumman, the Texas Children's Hospital, Eagle Global Logistics, Chevron, Schlumberger, Sysco, and Reliant Energy.[6]

History

Formation and early years

In the ten-year span between 1999 and 2009, Perficient grew from 9 employees to over 1,000 employees.

Jeffrey Davis was named CEO in September, 2009[7] During Mr. Davis' tenure as CEO, the firm has added over 1,000 more employees and has added more than $200 million in annual revenues. The company also transitioned from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market to the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Perficient was also added to the Russell 2000 and S&P SmallCap 600 indices.[4]

Growth

Perficient was featured in the June 20, 2005 edition of BusinessWeek.

"Little-known Perficient (PRFT), whose solid first quarter represented its ninth straight period of increased operating earnings, isn't done pulling favorable surprises."[8]

In 2010, Perficient moved its headquarters to Town & Country in St. Louis, MO.[9]

Perficient was named to the Forbes list of "The Companies Hiring The Most Right Now" in August, 2010. This list classified "midsize companies with the greatest number of job openings listed at the moment."[10]

"There's been a lot of demand building in health care over the last six months," Davis says. "It's moving at the best clip we've seen in the last six years." Much of that activity comes from companies preparing to adapt to the requirements of the health care legislation that passed the United States Congress in the spring and will take effect by 2014.[10]

In 2011, Perficient acquired business and management consulting firm, Exervio for $13.6 million.[11]

"Exervio’s high-value portfolio of management consulting skills significantly enhances our existing business consulting qualifications and offers strong pull-through potential for our custom and packaged application development, implementation and integration services," said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient’s chief executive officer and president.[12]

Perficient's 2011 fourth quarter profit more than doubled the prior year's performance. CEO Jeffrey Davis characterized 2011 as “a great year for Perficient,” with “solid growth and accelerating earnings.”[13]

In February, 2012, Perficient acquired collaboration, content management, unified communications and business intelligence firm, PointBridge Solutions, LLC for $22 million.[14]

Perficient then acquired services and technology consulting firm Nascent Systems LP, adding business and technology consulting for enterprise resource planning (ERP), expanding its E-Business Suite applications and growing annual revenue to nearly $340 million.[15]

In July, 2012, Perficient acquired another collaboration solutions company, Northridge Systems, an expert in Microsoft SharePoint. This acquisition supposedly increased Perficient's capabilities in "technology solutions that drive workforce productivity and brand experience solutions that drive customer loyalty." [16]

In May, 2013, Perficent acquired TriTek Solutions Inc., an IBM- focused enterprise content management and business process management consulting firm for $18.5 million.[17]

In 2013, Perficient acquired two salesforce.com firms, CoreMatrix Systems LLC[18] and Clear Task, Inc.[19]

The company made three acquisitions in 2014: ForwardThink Group,[3] BioPharm Systems,[20] and the IBM Smarter Commerce Division of Trifecta Technologies.[21]

Perficient announced in September, 2014 that it plans to open a domestic delivery center in Lafayette, Louisiana that would create 245 new direct jobs at salaries of around $60,000 plus benefits.[22]

In September, 2015, Perficient acquired Market Street Solutions, Inc.,[23] an IT consulting firm specializing in big data, analytics and management solutions. In December 2015, Perficient acquired Enlighten, a digital marketing agency. [24]

In 2013, Microsoft recognized Perficient as its "2013 U.S. Partner of the Year" and awarded Perficient three separate regional awards related to Cloud Computing. Perficient became known for its experience with migrations and deployments related to Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Lync, Yammer, Microsoft SharePoint, Windows Intune and Dynamics CRM.[26]

"We now have the comprehensive capacity to sell and deliver Salesforce solutions across the entire United States," said CEO, Jeff Davis.[18]

Community Outreach

St. Louis Rams

Perficient became an official community sponsor of the St. Louis Rams in 2014.[30]

The company, No. 66 on the CRN Solution Provider 500, participated in the Rams' Staff Days of Service Program in 2014, which included a playground build at a residential treatment center for severely disabled children. Through this partnership, it helped the St. Louis area Boys' and Girls Club and several other local charities.[30]

Philanthropy

Perficient was recognized by CRN Magazine in January, 2015 as one of "10 Solution Providers That Made A Difference In 2014." Its colleagues also built an application that allows Big Brothers Big Sisters to automate scheduling for its Sports Buddies program.[30]

The company migrated the infrastructure and 3,000 employees of Partners in Health to a Microsoft Office 365 suite at the purchasing price without any markup, bringing cloud-based communications to the nonprofit whose workers previously had to go to internet cafes to read or send email.[31]

Industry Expertise

Financial Services

After acquiring ForwardThink Group in 2014, the company now has specialties in business process improvement, payments, finance transformation and risk management.[3]

Perficient advises companies on mobile banking strategies, including deposit capture, mobile alerts, imaging, payments and location-based services. "The mobile banking experience is the foundation for a bank’s digital persona," he says. [32]

Healthcare

Perficient is an expert in consumer-driven Healthcare Information Technology.[25]

In 2012, Perficient and IBM worked with Premier healthcare alliance to create "an ecosystem for healthcare that makes it easy for users to communicate, collaborate, share and analyze data in order to improve outcomes and solve pressing medical problems." [33] Later that year, they launched PremierConnect, a collaboration platform for members of Premier healthcare alliance, an association that maintains the nation's largest clinical, financial, and outcomes database, and information on one in four U.S. patient discharges. PremierConnect brings data together from 2,700 U.S. hospitals to better manage population health and care management.[34]

In early 2012, Perficient built a HealthBI suite on leveraging Microsoft technology, designed to handle performance benchmarks to meet Meaningful Use and Accountable Care Organization (ACO) rules.[35]

Perficient's healthcare technology consultants advise clients on predictive analytics, Accountable Care solutions, Interoperability, health information exchange (HIE), and Meaningful Use.[36]

Their team of experts believe that new and social technologies, massive amounts of data, and compliance requirements are requiring rapid transformation and modernization in the healthcare industry. They believe that the company's healthcare capabilities in the areas of portal and collaboration, business intelligence and analytics, and enterprise health information exchange will help organizations achieve modernization, integration and efficiency.[37]

In 2012, Perficient developed new solutions in big data analytics that "help track the spread of disease based on streaming data and visualize global outbreaks which could ultimately determine the source of an infection." [38]

Perficient partnered in 2012 with NASCO, a Health Plan solutions provider that ensure Blue Cross and Blue Shield organizations can serve their members through web services, delivery and governance.
