Acxiom Expands Technology Skills of Team with Pluralsight to Speed up Production and Drive New Business
September 30 2019 - 11:27AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the technology skills platform,
today announced that Acxiom® is using Pluralsight to support its
technology skills strategy. With Pluralsight, Acxiom has made
technology skill development a strategic initiative and positioned
the skills of its developer team as a competitive advantage and key
business driver.
Acxiom combines data, technology, ethics and experience to help
the world’s biggest and most forward-thinking brands understand
consumers and unify marketing to enable unique experiences that
matter. It designs, builds, deploys and manages unified data layers
that help brands grow revenue, win new customers, increase customer
loyalty, and optimize marketing spend. Recognizing the rapid pace
of change in technology and the need to constantly develop new
skills to meet the needs of its clients, Acxiom has partnered with
Pluralsight to implement a skills strategy that allows them to move
as quickly as the companies they serve.
To optimize upskilling, Acxiom has implemented its Level-up
program to give its developers dedicated time throughout the
quarter to build technology skills on Pluralsight. Through
Level-up, developers participate in challenges using channels built
on Pluralsight to learn new skills that align to a specific
business objective. These new skills are then put to work at
bi-annual hackathons to tackle business objectives that meet the
needs of Acxiom clients.
“In our industry, new technologies are constantly emerging,”
said John Riewerts, Senior Director of Engineering at Acxiom.
“Identifying the ones that not only stick and are relevant but
ultimately solve problems for our clients, is key to Acxiom’s
ability to best serve existing clients and gain new ones.
Pluralsight enables this to happen.”
Cloud strategy and bringing Acxiom’s Unified Data Layer
solutions to its clients is a priority for Acxiom, and its Level-up
program and hackathons helped Acxiom developers meet this business
objective. Recognizing the need for expertise in multiple cloud
providers to give clients the best-fitting solution, Acxiom
empowered its developers to use Pluralsight to build the right
skills and implement technologies that can work across cloud
solutions.
“The impact of Pluralsight to our organization is pretty simple.
It really boils down to training associates and retaining them,”
said Blake Reed, Acxiom’s Director of Engineering. “As we’ve worked
on products, we’ve had to adopt new technology stacks. Pluralsight
helped us grow those skills and build new technologies to meet the
market demand for clients who want to go with cloud, scalability
and big data.”
