Trillium Software Executive Jon Asprey to Outline the Key Steps for a Successful Data Quality Strategy and Implementation for Larger Organisations


READING, UK--(Marketwire - March 10, 2010) -  Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE: HHS) and a leading enabler of Total Data Quality solutions, today announced that Jon Asprey, director Strategic Consulting EMEA at Trillium Software, will present at the Ovum Butler Group strategy briefing Data Quality and Integration - Data Management Strategies for Better Business Performance.

The event takes place today, Wednesday, March 10 from 9.00 until 16.00 GMT at the CBI Conference Centre located in the iconic Centre Point Tower on London's Oxford Street, very close to Tottenham Court Road tube station.

Mr Asprey will present the topic "Defining and Implementing a Data Quality Strategy." He will refer to his extensive experience of working with Trillium Software's global customer base to underline the importance of data quality to data governance initiatives. He will advise best practices for data quality implementation in large and complex multi-source data environments. He will make recommendations on team building and also identify how to overcome some of the roadblocks that sometimes confront projects.

According to Ovum Butler Group, data quality and integration are fundamental to every organisation's efforts to maximise the business value of its information. Without them, organisations face a mountain of unreliable data stored in disparate systems. The problems of data quality and integration are not new, but that data is now being exposed at many different levels by more users, operationally and strategically. At the operational level, the quality of transactional data directly affects the costs and efficiency of business functions and can enable the organisation to respond to business needs in a coordinated and informed manner. From an analytical point of view, good data quality is essential for Business Intelligence solutions that help organisations formulate and execute business strategy.
