BILLERICA, MA and SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - June 5, 2008) - Trillium
Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE : HHS ) and a leading
enabler of Total Data
Quality™ solutions, 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.
