Technology Services Agreement
On May 6, 2009 Acxiom Corporation (“the Company”) entered into a Statement of Work (the “Contract”) under a preexisting Global Master Services Agreement with Dun & Bradstreet (“D&B”) to provide certain infrastructure management services that were formerly provided by another vendor. Pursuant to the Contract, D&B’s data center operations, technology help desk and network management functions currently managed by the other vendor will be transitioned to the Company. These services are supplemental to other grid computing functions already outsourced by D&B to the Company.
The Contract has an initial term ending October 31, 2014. The transition of services from D&B’s former vendor will begin immediately and is expected to take 12 – 14 months to complete. The base amount of the contract is $247.8 million with potential additional payments over the life of the Contract. The Contract provides for standard adjustments due to changes in volume, inflation and incremental project work.
