| 2006, 06/12 Sunopsis and Trillium Software Partner to Augment Data Integration with Data Quality |
|
Adding Harte-Hanks Trillium Software's TS Quality technology to Sunopsis's data integration portfolio means enhanced value for Sunopsis customers "Data quality is a critical component of most successful data integration efforts," said Yves de Montcheuil, director of product marketing at Sunopsis. "By integrating TS Quality with our ETL and data integration offerings, we are enabling our customers to achieve total data quality, further enhancing the success of their integration efforts." "Sunopsis's integration and ETL tools simplify the tasks and reduce the cost of integrating data and applications across the enterprise," said Spencer Joyner, corporate officer and vice president, Harte-Hanks. "By augmenting Sunopsis's products with TS Quality, companies can further enhance the value of their data integration initiatives by eradicating data quality problems." "Data integration projects inevitably reveal data quality issues, whether defects that demand correction or opportunities that could be leveraged," said Philip Russom, senior manager of research at The Data Warehousing Institute. "Therefore, data integration implementations that omit data quality functions are prone to unexpected problems that cause project delays, cost overruns, and faulty deliverables. By offering Trillium Software's TS Quality as an integral part of its data integration suite, Sunopsis is enabling its customers to avoid project problems and to improve the quality of information deliverables." The foundation of TS Quality has been designed to support an organization's data quality requirements within applications across the entire enterprise and to provide users with a trusted foundation on which to build a long-term strategy for data quality. TS Quality supports name and address standards, based on postal authority files, for many nations worldwide. The software is also multithreaded, allowing real-time data processing. Pricing and Availability Integration work between the two companies is nearly complete, with general availability expected in July 2006. TS Quality also will be available as an upgrade for existing Sunopsis customers. Organizations already using Harte-Hanks Trillium Software products will be able to acquire the Sunopsis Open Connector for TS Quality so that they, too, may use both products in an integrated fashion.
