Harte-Hanks Trillium Software® Delivers Worldwide Address Validation To Oracle® Customers

New Adapter represents first out-of-the-box adapter to ensure accuracy of multinational addresses within Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Customer Data Hub environments

BILLERICA, MA - May 17, 2004 - Trillium Software®, a division of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (NYSE: HHS) and a market leader in global, data profiling and quality solutions, today announced availability of the Address Validation Adapter (AVA) as an option to its Trillium Software System® for Oracle (Nasdaq:ORCL). The AVA option facilitates comprehensive worldwide address validations with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i.9 and the Oracle® Customer Data Hub environments.

The AVA option broadens Trillium Software's support of Oracle applications, which also includes the Trillium Software Data Quality Connector for Oracle Warehouse Builder introduced in December 2003.

Through the AVA, Trillium Software's complete open standards-based address validation functionality can now be integrated with Oracle applications. Oracle customers can take advantage of the power of Trillium Software System's global libraries of country addresses - the most extensive in the industry - to validate and correct street-level address information either during the bulk import process or during address validation and correction for data already stored within the Oracle Customer Data Hub.

Trillium Software is the first IT (information technology) software vendor to develop an out-of-the-box adapter for the Oracle Customer Data Hub & E-Business Suite. Trillium Software is a partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork.

"Address validation is a key component for maintaining customer data quality in an enterprise environment with multiple customer touchpoints," said Steve Miranda, vice president, financial applications development, Oracle Corporation. "We feel that Oracle customers will realize tremendous value by having address validation pre-integrated directly into existing business processes. We are happy that Trillium was one of the first partners to take advantage of our open architecture to develop an address validation adapter for the Oracle E-Business Suite applications and the Oracle Customer Data Hub."

Functionality highlights of the Trillium Software System AVA include:

· Use of the OAGIS XML standards-based message format for information sharing. Developers can use message brokers without having to write any custom mapping code.

· Support for all countries of the world that provide local street address business rules.

· Support for Oracle E-Business Suite's new bulk import feature for validating and correcting addresses before they are loaded into the Oracle Customer Data Hub or from concurrent programs that validate addresses already stored in a Customer Data Hub.

"Adding Oracle E-Business Suite support to our roster of market-leading Information Asset Management solutions broadens the support we provide Oracle's customers to help them meet complex data quality challenges," said Len Dubois, vice president of global marketing for Trillium Software. "As the data profiling and quality market continually accelerates within the broader data management market, we're in a unique position to assist Oracle to leverage our collective strengths to improve our customers' productivity levels."

The Trillium Software Address Validation Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite runs on both Windows- and UNIX-based platforms and is available immediately to existing Oracle customers.
