Diogenes Torres to Speak at Trillium SW Conference

Trillium Software, a Harte-Hanks division, has announced that Diogenes Torres, a guest lecturer with the Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) and an internationally respected expert on the data warehouse implementation process, will be a guest speaker at Forum2000, the Harte-Hanks annual user conference. Mr. Torres will be speaking about the use of the Trillium Software System in a distributed computing environment. He will be focusing on how Trillium fits in with COM/DCOM and CORBA environments in order to address the e-commerce, CRM and data warehousing markets.

"Distributing computing environments is an important topic of discussion because of the emergence of the Internet as the predominant means of conducting business, both from business-to-business and business-to-consumer," said Data Warehousing Consultant Diogenes Torres. "Transactions can originate from any place and at any time, and businesses need to capitalize on the data. Companies can only make informed business decisions with valid data and Trillium assures that the data is consistent and accurate."

"We are ecstatic that Mr. Torres has agreed to speak at this year's conference. Having someone of Mr. Torres' caliber at our conference not only says a lot about our product, but also about the reputation of our company," said Len Dubois, Trillium's director of marketing.
