PERFICIENT, INC.

        We are an eBusiness solutions services provider to large and major midsize companies. We use a solutions delivery approach we call the Enabled Enterprise, that helps clients reach new markets and increase revenues, acquire and strengthen customer relationships, reduce costs and increase productivity and empower employees. Our Enabled Enterprise is an Internet-based infrastructure with integrated business applications that extend enterprise technology assets to customers, suppliers, partners and employees. We market our eBusiness solutions services directly to large and major midsize companies, principally in the Midwestern United States through an 18 person direct sales force.

        Our objective is to be a leading eBusiness solutions services provider to large and major midsize companies and Internet software vendors. One of our strategies to achieve this goal is to use selective acquisitions to supplement organic growth and achieve critical mass. On June 18, 2004 we acquired Meritage Technologies, Inc. ("Meritage") and paid approximately $7.1 million to the Meritage stockholders consisting of approximately $2.9 million in cash and 1.2 million shares of our Common Stock. Prior to the acquisition, the assets of Meritage were used to provide information technology consulting services to its customers. We intend to continue such uses for these assets. In our acquisition of Meritage, we granted certain registration rights to the stockholders of Meritage, pursuant to which this prospectus has been prepared.

        In connection with the acquisition of Meritage, on June 16, 2004 we raised approximately $2.5 million through a private placement of 800,000 shares of our common stock to a group of institutional investors led by Tate Capital Partners. The investors were also issued warrants for the purchase of an additional 160,000 shares of our common stock. We granted certain registration rights to the investors in the Private Placement, pursuant to which this prospectus has been prepared.

        Consistent with our strategy to use selective acquisitions in our growth, on April 2, 2004 we acquired Genisys Consulting, Inc. ("Genisys") and paid approximately $7.9 million to the Genisys stockholders consisting of approximately $1.5 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of our Common Stock. Prior to the acquisition, the assets of Genisys were used to provide information technology consulting services to its customers. We intend to continue such uses for these assets. In our acquisition of Genisys, we granted certain registration rights to the stockholders of Genisys. As a result, concurrent with this registration, we are registering 253,116 shares of our Common Stock for resale by the former stockholders of Genisys.

        Also concurrent with this registration, we are registering 2,166,500 shares of our common stock for the account of one of our stockholders who acquired such shares upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased from us in a private placement on June 26, 2002, upon exercise of warrants issued to such stockholder in connection with the purchase of our Series B Preferred Stock and upon purchase from certain of our stockholders in a private transaction. We are registering such shares of our Common Stock pursuant to registration rights granted to such stockholder in the private placement of our Series B Preferred Stock.


RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.

1



Risks Specific to Our Business

We have incurred losses during most of the quarters during which we have been in business and we may incur losses in the future.

        We have incurred operating losses in most of the quarters during which we have been in business. Although we have recently achieved profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We cannot assure you of any operating results. In future quarters, our operating results may not meet public market analysts' and investors' expectations. If that happens, the price of our common stock will likely fall.

We have a limited number of customers who may not be obligated to use our services.

        We have arrangements with a limited number of customers. Our contracts with some of our customers do not obligate them to use our services. A customer may choose at any time to use another consulting firm or to perform the services we provide through internal resources. Termination of a relationship with certain customers, or the decision of such customers to employ other consulting firms or perform services in-house, could materially harm our business.

The loss or impairment of our relationship with IBM would materially reduce our revenue and net income and would materially impact our cash and working capital balances.

        Amounts owed to us by IBM represented 19% of our accounts receivable, or $1,747,000, as of June 30, 2004. Failure of IBM to pay that amount would have a material adverse effect on our working capital, cash position, business, operating results and financial condition. Failure of IBM to pay us timely could also have a material impact our cash and working capital balances.

        Revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 39% and 26% of total revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our current agreement with IBM has been renewed and extended through August 2005, and may be terminated by IBM prior to that date upon five (5) days written notice. Revenue from IBM specifically under the IBM Software Services for WebSphere subcontracting agreement accounted for approximately 12% and 4% of total revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. A decision by IBM to reduce the amount of services performed by us or to terminate the agreement would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In the event IBM decides not to use our services, our revenue and net income could be materially reduced.

Our quarterly operating results may be volatile and may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

        A high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and rent, are fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, if we experience unanticipated changes in the number or nature of our projects or in our employee utilization rates, we could experience large variations in quarterly operating results and losses in any particular quarter. Due to these factors, we believe that our historical quarter-to-quarter operating results should not be used to predict our future performance.

        Our quarterly revenue, expenses and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future. These quarterly fluctuations have been and may continue to be affected by a number of factors, including:

2


        In addition, many factors affecting our operating results are outside of our control, such as:

        We expect that we may experience seasonal fluctuations in revenues. We expect that revenues in the quarter ending December 31 of a given year may typically be lower than in other quarters in that year as there are fewer billable days in this quarter as a result of vacations and holidays. This seasonal trend may materially affect our quarter-to-quarter operating results.

Our revenues are difficult to predict because they are derived from project-based engagements.

        Almost all of our revenues are from project-based client engagements, which vary in size and scope. Our revenue is difficult to predict since a client that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one period may not generate a similar amount of revenue, if any, in subsequent periods. In addition, because many of our project-based client engagements involve sequential stages, each of which may represent a different contractual commitment, a client may choose not to retain us for subsequent stages of an engagement or for new service projects.

Our gross margins are subject to fluctuations as a result of variances in utilization rates.

        Our services gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our professionals, defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed to customers divided by the total available hours in a period. Our operating expenses, including employee salaries, rent and administrative expenses are relatively fixed and cannot be reduced on short notice to compensate for unanticipated variations in the number or size of projects in process. If a project ends earlier than scheduled, we may need to redeploy our project personnel. Any resulting non-billable time may adversely affect our gross margins. The absence of long-term contracts and the need for new partners and business create an uncertain revenue stream, which could negatively affect our financial condition.

We may not grow, or we may be unable to manage our growth.

        Our success will depend on our ability to increase the number of our partners, end-user customers and our teams of technology professionals. However, we may not grow as planned or at all. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations, more potential partner and end-user customer relationships and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. If we experience growth, our growth will place significant strains on our management, personnel and other resources. If we are unable to grow or manage our growth effectively, this inability will adversely affect the quality of our services and our ability to retain key personnel, and could materially harm our business.

3



We may not be able to attract and retain technology professionals, which could affect our ability to compete effectively.

        Our business is labor intensive. Accordingly, our success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train, retain, motivate, manage and utilize highly skilled technology professionals. Additionally, our technology professionals are at-will employees. Any inability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technology professionals would impair our ability to adequately manage, staff and utilize our existing projects and to bid for or obtain new projects, which in turn would adversely affect our operating results.

Our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel.

        We believe that our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel. Retention is particularly important in our business as personal relationships are a critical element of obtaining and maintaining our partners. If any of these individuals stop working for us, our level of management, technical, marketing and sales expertise could significantly diminish. These individuals would be difficult to replace, and losing them could seriously harm our business. We may not be able to prevent key personnel, who may leave our employ in the future, from disclosing or using our technical knowledge, practices or procedures. One or more of our key personnel may resign and join a competitor or form a competing company. As a result, we might lose existing or potential clients.

We face risks associated with finding and integrating acquisitions.

        We may continue to expand our technological expertise and geographical presence through selective acquisitions. Any acquisitions or investments we make in the future will involve risks. We may not be able to make acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable terms. If we do buy a company, we could have difficulty retaining and assimilating that company's personnel. In addition, we could have difficulty assimilating acquired products, services or technologies into our operations and retaining the customers of that company. Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased intangibles amortization, stock compensation expense and increased compensation expense attributable to newly hired employees. Furthermore, our management's attention may be diverted from other aspects of our business and our reputation may be harmed if an acquired company performs poorly. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. If we issue equity securities, your ownership share of our common stock will be diluted.

We may face potential liability to customers if our customers' systems fail.

        Our professional services and software are often critical to the operation of our customers' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If one of our customers' systems fails, the customer could make a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for that failure. The limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable in all instances and may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims. In addition, a given insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claims. If we experience one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage or result in changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, our business and financial results could suffer.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

We are dependent on the demand for Internet software and services, which may fluctuate.

        The market for Internet software and services has changed rapidly over the last four years. The market for Internet software and services expanded dramatically during 1999 and most of 2000, but declined significantly in 2001 and 2002. Market demand for Internet software and services began to stabilize and improve throughout 2003 and into 2004, but there can be no assurances that this trend will continue. Our future growth is dependent upon the demand for Internet software and services and our ability to provide strategic Internet services that are accepted by our end-user customers. Demand and market acceptance for Internet services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. If companies continue to cancel or delay their business and technology initiatives or choose to move these initiatives in-house because of the current economic climate, or for other reasons, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Businesses may decrease or delay their use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce.

        Our future success depends heavily on the acceptance and use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce and streamlining operations. We focus our services on the development and implementation of advanced technology strategies and solutions. If the use of these technologies does not grow, or such growth is delayed due to economic uncertainty or other conditions, our revenue could be less than we anticipate and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing partner requirements.

        Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changing partner needs are common in the Internet professional services market. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

        We must accomplish all of these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner. We might not succeed in effectively doing any of these tasks, and our failure to succeed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including materially reducing our revenue and operating results.

        We may also incur substantial costs to keep up with changes surrounding the Internet. Unresolved critical issues concerning the commercial use and government regulation of the Internet include the following:

5


        Any costs we incur because of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including reduced net income.

Our market is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry.

        The market for Internet professional services is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market. Because of the rapid changes to, and volatility in, the Internet software and service industry, many well-capitalized companies that may have chosen sectors of the industry that are not competitive with our business, including some of our partners, may refocus their activities and resources. As a result, they could deploy their resources and enter into a business that is competitive with ours.

        Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations and potential partner relationships and greater financial, technical, industry and marketing resources than we do. This may place us at a disadvantage to our competitors, which may harm our ability to grow or maintain revenue or generate net income.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Stock

The trading volume of our common stock has been limited and, as a result, our stock price has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile.

        Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the symbol "PRFT." The trading volume of our common stock has been limited, and the stock prices have been volatile. Our common stock price may continue to be highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of the limited trading volume.

Our officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders own a large percentage of our voting securities.

        Our executive officers, directors and existing 5% and greater stockholders beneficially own or control approximately 30% of the voting power of our common stock. This concentration of ownership of our common stock may make it difficult for other Perficient stockholders to successfully approve or defeat matters that may be submitted for action by our stockholders. It may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

It may be difficult for another company to acquire us, and this could depress our stock price.

        Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, under our agreement with IBM, we have granted IBM a right of first offer and a right to terminate its agreement with us with respect to any change of control transaction with a company that has a substantial portion of its business in the web application server product and services market, other than a systems integrator or professional services firm. As a result, a potential acquirer may be discouraged from making an offer to buy us.

We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us. The raising of any additional capital may dilute your ownership percentage in our stock.

        We believe our existing line of credit, term loan facility and working capital should provide sufficient resources to satisfy our near term capital requirements. Our existing line of credit facility expires in December 2004 and our term loan facility advance period expires in June 2005. If we are unable to renew our line of credit, we may need to obtain an alternate debt financing facility. In the

6



future we may decide to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing in order to:

        Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity will dilute your ownership percentage in our stock. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. In such case, our business results would suffer.


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Some of the statements contained in or considered a part of this prospectus that are not purely historical statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The shares of common stock are being offered by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholder.


SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

        On June 18, 2004 we consummated the acquisition of Meritage Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by merging our wholly owned subsidiary, Perficient Meritage, Inc. with and into Meritage. Meritage survived the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary under the name "Perficient Meritage, Inc."

        We paid approximately $7.1 million to the Meritage stockholders in the merger, consisting of approximately $2.9 million in cash and 1.2 million shares of our common stock. The shares of common stock issued in connection with the merger were ascribed a value of $3.595 per share, which was the average closing price of our common stock for the 23 consecutive trading days ending on June 15, 2004. In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the acquisition of Meritage was effected, we are registering 978,001 shares of common stock issued in the merger for resale by the Meritage stockholders.

        The merger was funded in part by the Private Placement. On June 16, 2004 we raised approximately $2.5 million through a private placement of 800,000 shares of Perficient common stock at $3.09 per share to a group of institutional investors led by Tate Capital Partners. The investors were also issued warrants for the purchase of an additional 160,000 shares of Perficient common stock, exercisable until June 16, 2006 at a purchase price of $4.64 per share. The additional estimated proceeds to us if all warrants are exercised is expected to be approximately $742,400. In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Private Placement was effected, we are registering for resale by the investors participating in the Private Placement all of the shares of our common stock issued in the Private Placement and all of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Private Placement.

        The following table sets forth the name of and the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders prior to the offering, the number of shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders, and the number of shares of common stock that will be owned by the selling stockholders upon completion of the offering or offerings pursuant to this prospectus, assuming the selling stockholders sell all of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The selling stockholders may, however, elect to sell less than all (including none) of the shares of common stock offered by this

The shares of common stock may be offered directly to or through brokers or dealers, or through any combination of these methods of sale. The methods by which the selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock also include:

        An underwriter, agent, broker or dealer may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

        Any person that may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act will be named in a prospectus supplement, and any underwriting discounts, commissions or fees received by such persons may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
