Media Advisory: Harte-Hanks Trillium Software(R) to Sponsor MDM Webinar With Industry Expert

Learn How Companies Are 'Overcoming Challenges to Master Data Management Success'


BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwire - October 3, 2007) -


What: Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks (NYSE: HHS), and a leading enabler of Total Data Quality solutions, is sponsoring a complimentary one-hour Webinar titled, "Overcoming Challenges to Master Data Management (MDM) Success," as a part of the TDWI [The Data Warehousing Institute] Webinar series.

When: Wednesday, October 3, at 12:00 p.m. EDT/9:00 a.m. PDT

Who: David Loshin, president of Knowledge Integrity, Inc., will discuss challenges to a successful MDM deployment and share strategies for overcoming these hurdles. Specifically, Loshin will focus on challenges in three categories: organizational (people concerns), operational (transition and integration concerns), and technical (architecture and migration concerns).

Why: A centralized master repository of commonly used and shared data sets can increase consistency, improve data quality, reduce management and development costs, and enable more effective operations and analytics. However, transitioning from an organization with distributed data sets managed within lines of business to a model where replicated data are pulled under enterprise management might introduce stresses to the overall environment. Understanding in advance the nature of these challenges allows for proper preparation and planning.
