Perficient partners with Minnesota Timberwolves

Perficient, a St. Louis-based technology consulting firm, has entered into a partnership with the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association.

Under the terms of the agreement, Perficient will receive various marketing and corporate engagement benefits.

“It’s exciting to add a fast-growing, successful, and dynamic global consulting firm like Perficient to our partner family,” said Ryan Tanke, COO of the Minnesota Timberwolves. “Perficient’s already helping many of Minnesota’s largest and most recognizable brands to thrive in the digital era, and we’re looking forward to helping them gain additional awareness in our market and beyond.”

The Timberwolves joined the NBA in 1989 and have failed to make a championship finals appearance during their tenure in the league. The closest they got was in 2004, when the Kevin Garnett era team was eliminated in the Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves qualified for the postseason the past two years but failed to exit the first round on both occasions.

“Minneapolis is a thriving business market, rich with Fortune 500 enterprises digitally transforming to deliver innovative and amazing customer experiences,” said Bill Davis, Perficient’s senior vice president of marketing. “For more than two decades, Perficient has enabled many of Minnesota’s biggest brands and we’re thrilled to partner with the Timberwolves, an organization well-regarded for their intense focus on customer experience and also deeply committed to the Minneapolis region.”

Perficient is also a partner with hometown teams the St. Louis Blues and St. Louis Cardinals, as well as with the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta United.

Perficient was founded in 1997 and provides a full suite of IT consulting services to clients across industries. The firm has more 7,500 professionals across the US, Latin America, and India, and had revenue of $905 million in 2022.
