Perficient,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology and management
consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers
throughout North America, today announced it has entered into a broad
and multi-faceted, mutually beneficial partnership with the St.
Louis Rams. Under terms of the agreement, Perficient will receive
marketing and corporate engagement opportunities, while the Rams will
leverage Perficient’s deep technology solutions and application
development expertise to improve football operations. Core to the
relationship is a joint commitment to several important
community-oriented initiatives.
“Like Perficient, the Rams are a civic-minded enterprise that cares
deeply about investing time and resources back into the St. Louis
region,” said Bill Davis, Perficient’s managing director of marketing
and communications. “Their history of commitment to the community is
inspiring, and we’re honored to join forces to further their tradition
of giving back, lifting up and enabling those in need across our region.”
As the official community sponsor for the 2014 St. Louis Rams,
Perficient will invest time, resources and dollars in supporting a
variety of the Rams’ ongoing community-oriented initiatives. In addition
to sponsoring the recent Coach Fisher and Friends Celebrity Softball
Game, Perficient has become the sponsor of the Rams’ Staff Days of
Service program, a monthly initiative where the Rams’ front office staff
takes time out to volunteer with local non-profits. Since the program’s
inception in 2009, the Rams have provided more than 9,000 hours of
volunteer service to the community. The Rams’ annual Playground Build is
the cornerstone effort of the Staff Day of Service program, and
Perficient volunteers are participating in the 6th annual
Playground Build at Marygrove, a residential treatment center dedicated
to providing mental health services to severely disturbed children,
young adults and their families who are economically disadvantaged.
Perficient will also have a presence on the community section of the
Rams’ web site and their logo will be on the players’ community
appearance jerseys that are worn during the majority of charitable and
off-the-field appearances.
“The Rams are excited to add another dynamic and fast-growing St. Louis
corporation like Perficient to our partner family,” said Bob Reif, St.
Louis Rams’ executive vice president and chief revenue officer.
“Partnering with Perficient is meaningful because they share both our
passion for community service and our interest in deploying innovative
technologies to improve operations.”
