notability
Many 3rd party sources added, so I removed the "notability" warning, which was also outdated to back in Nov 2010 anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Journ3eb (talk • contribs) 2013-01-14T17:01:28 UTC
Defense Contracts
Strangely omits anything about Perficient's many contracts with Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, etc. Nor does the article mention the pre 2009 acquisitions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.116.164.204 (talk) 15:25, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- I've added Northrop Grumman and the US Navy to the list of clients. You can add Raytheon; do you have a source? Acquisitions going back to 2001 are listed in a table, not in prose. —rybec 13:34, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Proposed merge with TriTek Solutions Inc.

Hi, my name is Christina and I work for Upland Software, whose current CEO is Jack McDonald. I have some proposed updates to include missing historical information about Jack McDonald's former role as CEO for Perficient here Christina-UPLD (talk) 20:18, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
Reply 20-APR-2019
- The purpose of the article is not to act as a diary of individual CEO's tenures. If it were, that information should be provided by sources which are independent of the subject. Publications based in Austin Texas, the same city as the subject company, would doubtless be biased towards companies which operate within their city limits, and would not count as independent of the subject in any assurances for WP:NPOV.

I'd like to request the following sentence be added at the end of the second paragraph of the "Formation and early years" sub-section:
Perficient nearly went out of business after the dot-com bubble ended, but then-CEO Jack McDonald returned the company to profitability by focusing on its lucrative relationship with IBM.[1]

My hope is that this content addresses feedback from Spintendo above. The content is cited exclusively to a mainstream, national tech publication, avoiding any local biases. It focuses more on the company. It would also address the awkwardness of the page featuring current CEO Jeffrey Davis, but not even mentioning its prior CEO McDonald, who had a substantial impact on the company's history.
Thank you in advance for your independent and objective consideration of my request. Christina-UPLD (talk) 18:09, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- The provided reasoning does not state what it was about McDonald's focusing on the relationship with IBM which enabled the company's return to profitability. Spintendo 15:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Formation and early years
The company was founded in Austin, Texas, in August 1997 by Bryan Menell. The first angel investors in the company were Steve Papermaster and David Lundeen. The company secured its first channel partnership with Vignette, a provider of content management systems. Jack McDonald became the Perficient CEO in 1999 and served in the position for over a decade.[1] The company held its initial public offering on July 29, 1999 and reached $11.75 by Thursday in its first week of trading. In December 1999, the company completed its first acquisition of LoreData based in New London, Connecticut. In May 2000, Perficient acquired Compete, Inc., an 80-person IBM-focused consulting firm. According to the Austin Business Journal, the deal was worth a maximum of $63.2 million.[2]
In 2001, McDonald became Chairman of Perficient as well as CEO. During this period, Perficient felt the effects of the Dot-com bubble and began to struggle financially. They built a strong relationship with IBM, which allowed them to remain in business through the recession.[3] That year, revenues grew 38%, and the company was profitable for the first time.[3]

The request does not address text which may need to be removed from the article to prevent duplication if the requested prose is to be approved. This text needs to be included in the edit request. Regards, Spintendo 05:31, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
@Spintendo: - Thanks for the quick response and sorry I didn’t provide more clarity when making the suggestion. The above content would replace the first two paragraphs in history entirely, leaving the third paragraph alone. Hopefully that provides more clarity on the edit?

Hello, some detail about the early years (2001-2009) can be included in the Formation and early years section:
before the "The company's held its initial public offering on July 29, 1999" sentence add:
Jack McDonald became the Perficient CEO in 1999 and served in the position for over a decade.[1]
before the "Jeffrey Davis was named CEO" sentence, add
In 2001, McDonald became Chairman of Perficient in addition to CEO. During this period, Perficient felt the effects of the Dot-com bubble and began to struggle financially. In 2003, Perficient built a strong relationship with IBM, which allowed them to remain in business through the recession.[2] That year, revenues grew 38%, and the company was profitable for the first time.[2]

- There are two requests here: one dated June 11 and another dated June 24. This review applies to them both.
- The edit request dated June 11 does not give the verbatim text which is to be removed.
- The suggested additions dated June 11 and June 24 describe how the company "felt" effects of a recession but does not clarify which recession this is describing.
- The suggested prose in the request dated June 11 and June 24 makes a claim regarding the working relationship with another company, which requires additional verifications.

The requested prose is insufficiently paraphrased from the source material. Quotation marks have been placed in the proposed text — but because no author is mentioned in the prose — proper attribution cannot occur since no one is being described as the source of the quote.

- The 17 companies acquired during McDonald's time are already mentioned in the table.
- The article already ascribes a portion of these accomplishments to Jeffrey Davis:
"During Davis' tenure as CEO, the firm added over 1,000 employees and saw its annual revenue pass $200 million."
The article cannot place laudets upon both individuals whilst describing said laudets as occurring during the tenures of each individual, unless the work records demonstrate an overlap in positions. - The COI editor is reminded to (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this:

The claims involving specific partnerships such as the one with IBM and the financial results in 2004 are outside the purview of a general history of the company. The specific claims involving the financials of the company in 2008 and 2009, in contrast, are germane to the section because those financial results preceded a major change in leadership of the company. Furthermore, the Wright source in stating that McDonald "buckled down and guided the solution provider to a more focused approach" does not explain how and in what way McDonald effected these changes, nor what is meant by the words "buckled down" or "focused approach".

In 2005, McDonald was recognized with an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.[3]
During McDonald's tenure, Lori Hawkins of Statesman noted that, Perficient "grew from eight employees to more than 1,200 worldwide and had annual sales of $200 million"[4] and the company also opened offices in 22 locations across North America, India, and China; and achieved more than $200 million in annual revenue.[5]
Reasoning: This shows an overview of the company at the time, rather than a specific comparison of two years. One award in a 10 year period seems worth mentioning as well.

- Even though the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award is notable in Wikipedia, this mention seems more appropriate for an article on the subject, as the award is given to a person and not a company.
- The second part of the request asks for the removal of information based on the assumption that "an overview of the company" is better than a "specific comparison of two years". However, that "specific comparison of two years" is made in addition to the "overview of the company" provided by Hawkins in the Statesman. Comparing one as being better than the other would work if the article were somehow limited to displaying one or the other and not both. Since both may be included (because both are relevant to McDonald's work at the company) the comparison is unnecessary.

Flag Discussion: This article appears to contain a large number of buzzwords. (February 2016)
The content of this article has changed quite a bit (the removal of several sections about specific acquisitions and their respective tech), and the terms that seem to need explanation are wiki-linked. Does this buzzword flag still apply?
Here is a link to the state of the article at that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Perficient&type=revision&diff=704427028&oldid=702980872

The suggested prose does not specify when the leases were signed for these 22 office properties. Thus it cannot be stated with certainty that the leases for these offices were signed during McDonald's tenure.
We lease 22 offices in major cities across North America, China and India. We do not own any real property. We believe our facilities are adequate to meet our needs in the near future.[1]: 17
Furthermore, the proposed claim does not take into account the number of leased properties abandoned during McDonald's tenure, According to the SEC documents for 2009, there were several:
During the third quarter of 2009, we vacated certain office space as part of ongoing cost reduction initiatives in response to our 2009 revenue contraction. We subleased some of the vacated office space during the fourth quarter of 2009. The accounting for costs associated with the abandonment of office space was calculated using the guidance in ASC Subtopic 420-10 (SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities). A liability of approximately $0.3 million for lease abandonment costs was recorded in the third quarter of 2009. The lease abandonment costs were classified as “Selling, general and administrative” expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.[1]: 27
Thus for this claim statement to have an ascertainable truth value attached to it, a complex accounting[a] would need to take place of the number of lease agreements abandoned compared to those signed, in order to determine exactly how many offices were "opened" during McDonald's tenure.
