BILLERICA, MA and SAN MATEO, CA– June 5, 2008 – Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE:HHS) and a leading enabler of Total Data QualityTMsolutions, and Siperian, Inc., a leading provider of Master Data Management (MDM) solutions, today announced an expanded sales and technology partnership to help customers more quickly and easily incorporate best-of-breed data quality into their master data management initiatives.  As part of the agreement, Siperian will continue to jointly sell and resell Trillium Software’s data quality products to customers.

Siperian has tightly integrated the robust data quality capabilities of the Trillium Software System® within Siperian’s MDM Hub™ for batch as well as real-time operations.  Data quality cleansing and standardization rules are configured using the data steward console within Siperian MDM Hub, which stores the complete history of all pre- and post-cleansed and standardized data.  This enables organizations to support data quality and compliance initiatives by providing continuous data quality and audit-trail capabilities.  In addition, Siperian will be using the TS Discovery product from Trillium Software to help customers assess and measure data quality as part of their MDM and data governance programs.

"Unlike some other MDM solutions, Siperian provides out-of-the-box integration with Trillium Software’s data quality products, allowing our customers to leverage their existing investments and infrastructure to more closely meet budget and project scope goals while achieving faster time-to-value," said Ken Hoang, CTO and founder of Siperian.  "The goal of our partnership is to help organizations more easily create flexible and scalable MDM solutions, based on high-quality, consistent data, that can continue to evolve and grow as their business needs change.  As a result, we are addressing current and future, unforeseen business problems while reducing the risks of integrating data with MDM applications."

"Ensuring that your enterprise data is accurate and usable for your business programs, is a critical first step in any master data management process," said John Nicoli, general manager at Harte-Hanks Trillium Software.  "We have worked closely with Siperian to seamlessly connect our best-of-breed technology solutions, offering our shared customers a common platform for helping executives and business users make timely, better-informed decisions – based on accurate data – that could help drive revenue growth and operational efficiencies."

Siperian was a lead sponsor of the Trillium Software EMEA Customer Conference in London on Thursday, June 5, 2008.
