Harte-Hanks Announces New Release of Trillium Software 'DIAMOND DATA I-S' for Salesforce.com's AppExchange

Market Wire, October, 2006

Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks (NYSE: HHS) and a leading enabler of Total Data Quality solutions, today announced the release of DIAMOND DATA I-S for AppExchange, a software-as-a-service data quality management application made available to salesforce.com customers via the AppExchange on-demand service. The DIAMOND DATA I-S solution combines the customer data enrichment technology of Customer Connection, a Harte-Hanks Trillium Software product, with its existing DIAMOND DATA offering for salesforce.com customers.

In addition, the release of DIAMOND DATA I-S will take advantage of Salesforce Winter '07 enhancements such as in-line processing, which enables users to apply cleansing and enrichment capabilities directly within the user experience allowing real time data quality feedback.

DIAMOND DATA I-S provides on-demand access to business, demographic and financial data from D&B®, Harte-Hanks Ci Technology Database, and Xignite so users can add new records or enhance existing records in their own salesforce.com implementation. DIAMOND DATA I-S is a closed-loop solution for ongoing data quality that combines the offerings of two strong AppExchange products -- DIAMOND DATA and Customer Connection. By integrating the two technologies, Trillium Software offers salesforce.com customers a business data solution that couples sales intelligence and global data quality, based on the proven Trillium Software methodology used by 1,400 organizations around the world. The data quality process includes data investigation and analysis, cleansing and validation, matching and de-duplication and enrichment and appending with well known business data sources.

"Based on Trillium Software's strong enterprise-level experience, DIAMOND DATA I-S is capitalizing in a traditional enterprise market as well as small- and medium-sized businesses looking for ways to improve their sales efficiency," said David Pietropaolo, vice president of strategic sales for Harte-Hanks Trillium Software. "DIAMOND DATA I-S provides sales teams a more comprehensive and accurate view of customers and prospects, which allows users to more effectively pursue opportunities and maximize revenue generation."

"We are very excited about the new release of DIAMOND DATA I-S," said Hernan Vera, director of marketing, supply chain solutions, at Ryder Systems, Inc. "Accessible, accurate, and reliable data are critical for our sales intelligence activities and revenue growth."

DIAMOND DATA I-S also builds and maintains corporate hierarchies from D&B® D-U-N-S Numbers and prevents or notifies creation of duplicate records -- enabling single, consolidated views of corporate relationships. DIAMOND DATA I-S for AppExchange is scheduled to be available in conjunction with Salesforce Winter '07 in the fourth quarter.
