"As consolidation of the data quality vendor market continues, we see our position in the leaders quadrant by Gartner as further validation of our strong industry expertise, strategic vision and ability to help customers achieve their data quality goals for optimizing business operations," said Len Dubois, vice president of marketing at Harte-Hanks Trillium Software.
