Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting

        This Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") of Perficient, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Perficient" or the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on July 20, 2004 at the Company's headquarters located at 1120 South Capital of Texas Highway, Suite 220, Building 3, Austin, Texas 78746 at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, and at any adjournment thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice and Proxy are being mailed to stockholders on or about June 24, 2004. The principal executive offices of Perficient are located at the address listed above.

PURPOSE OF MEETING

        The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

        Only holders of record of Perficient common stock at the close of business on the record date, June 10, 2004 (the "Record Date"), will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and at all adjournments thereof. On the Record Date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote 17,161,673 shares of Perficient's common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). Each outstanding share of Perficient Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Votes cast, either in person or by proxy, will be tabulated by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent.

Quorum Required

        The Company's bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Votes Required

        Proposal 1. Directors of Perficient will be elected by a plurality of the vote of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee's total.

        A broker "non-vote" occurs on an item when shares held by a bank, broker or other nominee are present or represented at the meeting but such nominee is not permitted to vote on that item without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction is given.

        Abstentions have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes and shares as to which proxy authority has been withheld with respect to any matter are not entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether shareholder approval of that matter has been obtained and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any such matter.

Proxies

        If a proxy is properly signed by a stockholder and is not revoked, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Meeting in the manner specified on the proxy, or if no manner is specified with

respect to any matter therein, such shares will be voted by the person designated therein in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors as indicated in this Proxy Statement. If any of the nominees for director are unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, an event that is not anticipated by Perficient, the shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors may determine to reduce the size of the Board of Directors. A proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to the voting thereof by giving notice of revocation in writing to the Secretary of Perficient, by duly executing and delivering to the Secretary of Perficient a proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

        Perficient will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy, and any additional soliciting material furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Perficient may reimburse such persons for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, telegram, or other means by directors, officers, employees or agents of Perficient. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such service. Except as described above, Perficient does not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by mail, electronic mail, or telephone.

Audit Committee Report

        The following is the report of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") with respect to the audit of our fiscal 2003 audited consolidated financial statements:

        Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the

12

United States and to issue a report thereon. The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

        In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report with management and the independent auditors. The Committee discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

        The Company's independent auditors also provided to the Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Committee discussed with the independent auditors that firm's independence. The Audit Committee reviewed nonaudit services provided by its independent auditors for the last fiscal year, and determined that those services are not incompatible with maintaining the auditors' independence.

        Based upon the Committee's discussion with management and the independent auditors and the Committee's review of the representation of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

Dr. W. Frank King (Chairman)
Philip J. Rosenbaum
David S. Lundeen

External Auditors

        A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

        Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP attended all meetings of the Audit Committee in 2003. The Audit Committee pre-approves and reviews all audit and non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP. In considering the services to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee considers whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

Audit Fees

        Audit services performed for the Company by Ernst & Young LLP consist of the audit of the annual financial statements for the fiscal year included in Form 10-KSB and for the reviews of the financial statements included the quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB. Audit fees for fiscal years 2003 and 2002 were $82,500 and $82,750, respectively, and fees for audit-related services were $3,000 and $23,000 in fiscal years 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. Audit related services generally include fees for business acquisitions, accounting consultations and SEC registration statements.

Tax Fees

        Aggregate fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for non-audit related services, consisting mainly of tax consulting and compliance services, totaled approximately $42,000 in fiscal 2002. There were no fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for non-audit related services in fiscal 2003.

13

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        It is the Company's policy that all audit and non-audit services to be performed by its principal accountants be approved in advance by the Audit Committee.

        The Audit Committee has reviewed the fees described above and believes that such fees are compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

        Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent public auditors is not required by our bylaws or other applicable legal requirement.

Stockholder Proposals for Next Annual Meeting

        Any stockholder proposals intended to be presented at Perficient's next annual meeting of stockholders must be received by Perficient at its offices at 1120 South Capital of Texas Highway, Suite 220, Building 3, Austin, Texas 78746, on or before December 31, 2004, for consideration for inclusion in the proxy material for such annual meeting of stockholders.

APPENDIX A

PERFICIENT, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CHARTER OF THE

AUDIT COMMITEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Effective as of April 26, 2004

        The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Perficient, Inc. (the "Company") established an Audit Committee (the "Committee") and a Charter of the Committee effective as of its date of adoption by the Board on June 29, 1999 (the "Existing Charter"). The Existing Charter is amended and restated as set forth herein as of the effective date set forth above.

Purpose

        The primary purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring:

•

the integrity of the Company's financial statements and financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls;



•

the qualifications and independence of the Company's independent accountants;



•

the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent accountants; and



•

the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Composition

        The Committee shall consist of at least three members, all of whom must be members of the Board. The members of the Committee shall meet the independence and qualification requirements of.

•

The NASDAQ Stock Market;



•

Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); and



•

the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (including without limitation Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act).

Subject to Section 4.9 of Article IV of the Company's bylaws, the Board shall appoint the members of the Committee after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. One of the members, who shall be selected by the Committee, shall serve as the chairperson of the Committee. The Committee shall consider the recommendation of the Nominating Committee in making such selection. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time.

Authority and Responsibilities

        The Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint, retain and terminate the Company's independent accountants. The Committee shall be directly responsible for the compensation, oversight and evaluation of the work of the independent accountants (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent accountants regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. The independent accountants shall report directly to the Committee.

        The Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for the Company by its independent accountants, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act which are approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Such pre-approval may be accomplished by

engagement arrangements entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures previously established by the Committee, but only if the policies are detailed as to the particular services that are pre-approved, the Committee is informed of each such service provided and the policies do not delegate the Committee's responsibilities to management. The Committee shall have sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms and non-audit engagements with the Company's independent accountants. The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the authority to grant preapprovals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that the decisions of such subcommittee to grant preapprovals shall be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

        The Committee shall have the authority, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other advisors without the approval of the Board. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent accountants for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report and to any advisors employed by the Committee.

        Without limiting the generality of the preceding statement, the Committee, shall:

Financial Statement and Disclosure Matters

        1.     Review and discuss with management and the independent accountants the Company's annual audited financial statements prior to the filing of its Form 10-K, including disclosures made under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Form 10-K, and recommend to the Board whether the audited financial statements should be included in the Form 10-K.

        2.     Review and discuss with management and the independent accountants the Company's quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of its Form 10-Q, including disclosures made under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Form 10-Q and the results of the independent accountants' review of the quarterly financial statements.

        3.     Discuss with management and the independent accountants any analyses prepared by management and/or the independent accountants setting forth significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including analyses of the effects of alternative treatments of the financial statements within generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

        4.     Discuss with management and the independent accountants major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Company's selection or application of accounting principles, any major issues as to the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies.

        5.     Review and discuss regular reports from the independent accountants on:

•

all critical accounting policies and practices to be used;



•

all alternative treatments of financial information within GAAP that have been discussed with management, the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent accountants;



•

any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the independent accountants but were "passed" as immaterial or otherwise; and



•

other material written communications between the independent accountants and management, such as any management letter, internal control letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

        6.     Discuss with management the type and presentation of information to be included in the Company's earnings press releases prior to public release, including the use of "pro forma" or "adjusted" non-GAAP information, and review any financial information and earnings guidance

provided to analysts and rating agencies. Such discussion may be done generally (consisting of discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be made) and need not precede each earnings release or each instance in which the Company provides guidance.

        7.     Discuss with management and the independent accountants the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives as well as off balance sheet structures on the Company's financial statements.

        8.     Discuss with management the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company's risk assessment and risk management policies.

        9.     Discuss with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards Nos. 61, 89 and 90 relating to the conduct of the audit, including any problems or difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work and management's response, any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to requested information, and any significant disagreements with management.

        10.   Review disclosures made to the Committee by the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer during their certification process for the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls.

Oversight of the Company's Relationship with the Independent Accountants

        11.   Review and evaluate the lead partner of the independent accountants' team.

        12.   Obtain and review a report from the independent accountants at least annually regarding (a) the independent accountants' internal quality-control procedures, (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, (c) any steps taken to deal with any such issues, and (d) all relationships between the independent accountants and the Company. Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent accountants, including considering whether the auditor's quality controls are adequate and the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the accountants' independence, and taking into account the opinions of management and the internal auditing department (or outside auditor performing the function of an internal auditing department). The Committee shall present its conclusions with respect to the independent accountants to the Board.

        13.   Ensure the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, the concurring (or reviewing) audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit and other audit partners performing services for the Company and its subsidiaries as required by law. Consider whether, in order to assure continuing independence, it is appropriate to adopt a policy of rotating the independent accounting firm on a regular basis.

        14.   Recommend to the Board policies for the Company's hiring of employees or former employees of the independent accountants.

        15.   Discuss with the national office of the independent accountants issues on which they were consulted by the Company's audit team and matters of audit quality and consistency.

        16.   Meet with the independent accountants prior to the audit to discuss the planning and staffing of the audit.

Oversight of the Company's Internal Audit Function

        17.   Review the appointment and replacement of any senior internal auditing personnel or other designated person or, at the discretion of the Board, select and contract with an outside auditor (other

than the Company's independent accountants) to perform the function of an internal auditing department. The senior internal auditing executive or other designated person (or any outside auditor performing the function of an internal auditing department) shall report directly to the Committee, and the Committee shall direct the scope and duties of the internal audit function.

        18.   Review the regular reports to management prepared by the internal auditing department or other designated person (or any outside auditor performing the function of an internal auditing department) and management's responses.

        19.   Discuss with the independent accountants and management the responsibilities, budget and staffing of the internal auditing department or other designated person (or any outside auditor performing the function of an internal auditing department), and any recommended changes in the planned scope of the internal audit.

Compliance Oversight Responsibilities

        20.   Obtain from the independent accountants assurance that Section 10A(b) of the Exchange Act has not been implicated.

        21.   Obtain reports from management, the Company's senior internal auditing executive or other designated person (or any outside auditor performing the function of an internal auditing department) and the independent accountants that the Company and its subsidiary/foreign affiliated entities are in conformity with applicable legal requirements and the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Review reports and disclosures of insider and affiliated party transactions. Advise the Board with respect to the Company's policies and procedures regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations and with the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

        22.   Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

A majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present are competent to act. Except as expressly provided in this Charter or in the Company's bylaws or corporate governance guidelines, the Committee may determine additional rules and procedures to govern it or any of its subcommittees, including designation at any meeting of a chairperson pro tempore in the absence of the chairperson and of a secretary (who need not be a member of the Committee) for that meeting.
