BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwire - June 11, 2008) - Trillium Software®, a business of
Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE : HHS ), and a leading enabler of Total Data
Quality solutions, today announced it has been positioned in the
"leaders" quadrant of Gartner, Inc.'s
influential Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, 2008 report(1).
According to the Gartner report, "leaders" in the market demonstrate
strength across a complete range of data quality functionality, including
profiling, parsing, standardization, matching, validation and enrichment
and cleansing. They exhibit a clear understanding and vision for where the
market is headed, including recognition of non-customer data quality issues
and the delivery of enterprise-level data quality implementations. Leaders
have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational
presence directly or as a result of a parent company.
"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.
"With our data profiling, quality, auditing and compliance solutions and
strategic professional services offerings, the Trillium Software System®
delivers actionable, reliable information into the hands of business and IT
managers across the enterprise."
The Trillium Software System is architected to deliver the highest level of
enterprise data quality in operational environments such as master data
management (MDM), compliance and data governance initiatives as well as
traditional analytical environments such as customer relationship
management (CRM) and the data warehouse.
Mr. Dubois goes on to say that "Trillium Software has worked hard to
provide superior value to customers by demonstrating and delivering on its
market vision and strategic direction for product data and customer data
quality management. We maintain very positive brand recognition and
customer retention rates because of high levels of product performance and
scalability as well as customer service and support. We take great pride
in providing deep data quality expertise to our customers to help them
