Leaders have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational presence (directly or as a result of a parent company)."

"Businesses need versatile data quality solutions that can adapt to rapidly changing data types and enterprise infrastructures," said Keith Kohl, vice president product management, Trillium Software.
