Acxiom®
Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced a significant investment
in a business and development partnership with Kynetx,
Inc., that will enable online consumers to control their
personalization experience across multiple websites for a level of
relevancy never before available.
Consumers will be able to download applications that flag the discounts
and promotions they are most likely to be interested in. Because the
technology is brokered through a standard Web browser, the application
that the consumer has self-selected (and with it, the consumer's
personal discounts) can accompany them across the Web to any search
engine or site.
"Our partnership with the Kynetx platform will enable consumers to drive
the content," said John Meyer, Acxiom CEO and president. "We will put
more power in the hands of consumers to get the content they're looking
for â and in much less time than is required today. The applications
enabled by our partnership create consumer engagement that no one else
is doing in quite the same way. Consumers will be able to drive highly
targeted, personalized features that improve the quality of the
interaction."
"Together, we're giving users the ability to experience the Web in a
purpose-centric' way," said Stephen Fulling, Kynetx CEO. "People go
online to get something done. With Acxiom, we are creating applications
that fully achieve users' goals of finding the best information without
getting lost in the clutter."
"Kynetx is the perfect partner," said Tim Christin, Acxiom's senior vice
president for identity solutions. "The Kynetx engine is the best
technology to build a loyal audience because it is consumer controlled
and delivers a cross-site, experiential and context-driven experience.
And best of all for the consumer, it ties in seamlessly with our
existing identity management solutions."
Kynetx and Acxiom will discuss their integrated tools and how to use
them at the upcoming Kynetx
Impact Conference November 18-19.
