ALDERMASTON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 21, 2007 -- Harte-Hanks Trillium Software
(NYSE : HHS ), a leading enabler of Total Data Quality solutions, today
announced that under its global reseller partner program, it has expanded
its European coverage by appointing Visual Management Limited of Helsinki
in Finland, Nodes s.r.l. of Rome in Italy, and Ascen Sp. z o.o. of Warsaw
in Poland as new resellers.
"Harte-Hanks Trillium Software has an extensive presence across Europe,
which we support through our own network of offices and via member
companies of the Trillium Software Alliance Programme," said Spencer
Joyner, corporate officer and vice president, Harte-Hanks, Inc. "We welcome
Visual Management, Nodes and Ascen to our global reseller network to help
us support existing customers in their respective regions and to serve

Poland and Finland in particular are experiencing strong economic growth.

Co-operation and Development (OECD)(i), for the period 1995-2005, gross
domestic product grew at an average 4% per annum in Poland and an average
3.5% per annum in Finland. The average for all OECD countries was 2.6% per

and Italy -- winning high levels of foreign investment. In 2005, Italy
received some US$19.5 billion in direct foreign investment inflows, Poland
some US$7.7 billion, and Finland US$4.6 billion.
HARTE-HANKS TRILLIUM SOFTWARE ADDS EUROPE RESELLERS
According to Ed Wrazen, vice president of marketing, international, for
Harte-Hanks Trillium Software, Trillium Software is enjoying growing demand
from large national and international organizations operating in these
three countries, complementing growth elsewhere in Europe as firms

regions to overall business effectiveness. Demand, says Wrazen, is across
multiple processes involving customer-specific data, as well as supply,
financial and employee information. Companies frequently seek Total Data
Quality solutions -- solutions able to improve data right across the
enterprise, regardless of language, culture or geography.
Visual Management specialises in data quality, business intelligence, data
warehousing and in reporting solutions. Nodes' specialization is data
quality management, business process management and legacy-to-SOA
