BILLERICA, MA--
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; and,
- additional materials for educational
purposes.
"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 depend 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,
