Trillium Software today announced that it has received industry recognition for its software from leading analyst firms, as well as independent publications. The company was ranked as a market leader in META Group’s METAspectrum report for Data Quality Tools, as well as being included in Gartner’s highest, assigned category of “positive” data quality vendors. Forrester Research also cites Trillium Software as the market leader for data quality and Current Analysis awarded the company its highest available ranking among data quality vendors. The recently published METAspectrum evaluation provides an objective assessment of companies providing solutions used in the identification and remediation of problems with enterprise information assets.

　　Trillium Software was positioned in the “leader” segment of the METAspectrum analysis for the second consecutive year, and was specifically recognized for its strength in “technical performance, command of market share and financial viability.” In a July 20, 2004, Forrester Research report titled, “It’s A Buyer’s Market For Information Quality Software,” respondents were asked, “which data quality software, tools or technology do you currently have in production?” Trillium Software was cited as the market share leader among data quality vendors, with more than 10 percent of the respondents using the Trillium Software System,” as compared to other named vendors, the closest of which had approximately half the market share of Trillium Software. “In 2004, Trillium Software received ‘leadership’ rankings from four leading market analyst firms and additional validation from an industry leading publication,” said Len Dubois, vice president of marketing for Trillium Software at Harte-Hanks. “The readers of DM Review rated Trillium Software the highest data quality solution for the fifth year in a row and DM Review’s editors honored a Trillium Software customer, with its World Class Solution Award for data quality, for the third time in four years.” “Trillium Software was named a leader in the METAspectrum report based on technology presence and performance,” said Andreas Bitterer, vice-president, META Group. “As we noted in the report, potential buyers should not become fixated on cleansing performance or accuracy as much as other key capabilities, such as data enrichment, data profiling, compliance, non- name/address logic, international data quality support, and long-term viability.”
