Business and other management consultancy activities; digital consulting and technology services

Strategic Profile

Perficient refreshed its brand and logo in March 2026 as part of a strategic move to position itself as a global, AI-native consulting and technology services firm, explicitly targeting the emerging AI-first marketplace. In May 2024, Perficient agreed to be acquired by Swedish private equity firm EQT AB in a $3 billion all-cash deal. The company emphasizes industry expertise across automotive, financial services, healthcare, retail, and technology sectors with global delivery capabilities.
