Trillium Software ®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE: HHS) and leading enabler of Total Data Quality solutions, today announced the availability of its MDM Readiness Kit to assist enterprises with the design and implementation of their data quality and data governance resources for master data management (MDM) initiatives. This complimentary resource serves as a guide for Global 2000 organizations that are interested in preparing and executing a successful MDM initiative.

The Harte-Hanks Trillium Software MDM Readiness Kit includes numerous resources, among them:

--  an MDM Project Planning Checklist
--  a white paper titled "Data Quality in the MDM Ecosystem" prepared by
    Trillium Software
--  the Gartner "Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, 2007" (an
    independent research note of data quality software available to global
    enterprises today, with Trillium Software analyzed among these tools)
--  case studies of successful MDM and Data Governance implementations

"The MDM market place is filled with resources on how to envision and implement infrastructure, but until now has been sorely lacking in guidance and best practices for the quality of information that will ultimately feed these systems," said Len Dubois, vice president of marketing, Trillium Software at Harte-Hanks. "Our MDM Readiness Kit provides a roadmap for cross-enterprise data quality and governance in operational and analytical solutions. Increasingly, businesses understand that the success of each and all of their business intelligence initiatives depends on high quality information to keep enterprise 'master' data uniform, timely and accurate."

The MDM Readiness Kit is complimentary from Trillium Software and can be downloaded, in exchange for contact information, at http://mdm.trilliumsoftware.com
