BILLERICA, MA – 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 achieve total data quality that can improve business operations performance and results."
