EXHIBIT 31.2
                                          CERTIFICATION

         I, Jefferson D. Stalnaker, certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Acxiom Corporation;

2.       Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material
         fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
         of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with
         respect to the period covered by this report;

3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
         included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
         condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
         periods presented in this report;

4.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and
         maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
         13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

         a)       designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
                  controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
                  material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
                  subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
                  particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)       evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
                  procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
                  effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                  period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

         c)       disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over
                  financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal
                  quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
                  report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most
         recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's
         auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions):

         a)       all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
                  operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
                  likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
                  summarize and report financial information; and

         b)       any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
                  employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control
                  over financial reporting.
