BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwire - Mar 20, 2013) - Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE: HHS) and a leading provider of Total Data Quality™ solutions, and Stibo Systems, an award-winning multi-domain master data management (MDM) provider, today announced an alliance to help customers optimize their customer data integration (CDI) initiatives. By integrating the Trillium Software System^® with Stibo Systems' flexible MDM solution, global organizations can rely on a single trusted source of data -- with real time address and GEO code verification.

"As organizations strive to better manage data on a global scale, many are recognizing the business benefits of improving data quality for MDM initiatives," said Bjarne Hald, chief technology officer at Stibo Systems. "By working with Trillium Software to streamline the data quality process at the beginning of a CDI project, our joint customers can better position themselves to create a single trusted source of strategic information and drive operational intelligence."

Designed to maintain the quality of data no matter what platform or application, including cloud and Web-based, the Trillium Software System can scale to the needs of any global enterprise. In combination with Stibo Systems' solution, customers can link product, supplier, customer and other critical data assets. By ensuring a higher level of data quality within business processes that rely on data managed through CDI and PIM applications, global entities can turn departmental knowledge into an enterprise-wide asset, resulting in increased profitability, reduced risk and enhanced agility.

"No matter the industry, global organizations need to rely upon data to compete in today's increasingly competitive marketplace," said David Pietropaolo, vice president of global alliances at Trillium Software. "By integrating data quality services into CDI applications at the outset, customers can gain a competitive advantage as decision-makers worldwide access and act on information that is accurate, consistent, current and complete."
