BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwire - December 8, 2009) - Trillium Software, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc.

"We currently have almost 4 million records in various core systems which have been created over a period of 40 years," said Yiannis Giannakopoulos, relations management supervisor at Interamerican Insurance. "We needed a solution that would help de-duplicate, enrich and validate our existing customer records and also automate the new customer data entry validation process. Trillium Software and its local distributor Cognity S.A. were selected as clearly the best and most reliable solution."

Mr. Giannakapoulos continued by saying, "Increasing customer satisfaction by maintaining information of the highest quality is a major objective and a prerequisite for increasing productivity and revenue."
