Leading Consultancy Can Now Offer Clients Greater Insight into

Customer Data and Dramatically Reduce Data Redundancy Costs

Sagent (Nasdaq: SGNT), a leading provider of enterprise business intelligence solutions, today announced that Computer Horizons Corp. (Nasdaq: CHRZ), a professional services and human capital management company, has integrated the Merge/Purge component of Sagent's Centrus technology into Computer Horizons' Data Quality and Cleansing offering. Numerous Computer Horizons customers are already utilizing the enhanced data quality solution, with customers reporting significant reductions in the number of duplicate and inaccurate records in enterprise databases.

Computer Horizons combines several data quality technologies with its tested data analysis methodology to help clients generate a fully rational Operational Data Store (ODS). With the addition of Merge/Purge - a data accuracy tool with the unique ability to match records based on any field, not just name and address - Computer Horizons customers are now able to detect a much wider array of duplicate record types (e.g. Product SKU's, Invoice numbers, office codes, etc.). This automated capability enables better customer relationship management and more efficient utilization of IT personnel work time.

"Due to the rapid expansion in the number and types of records in enterprise databases, a data cleansing tool that only handles name and addresses redundancy issues is no longer sufficient," said Bob Doyle, Vice President of CRM and Data Management Solutions at Computer Horizons Corp. "Sagent's Merge/Purge tool offers us sophisticated multiple comparison functionality, making it the data quality product of choice for many of our major clients in the oil and gas, financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing industries."

A recent Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) study, co-sponsored by Sagent, underscores the importance of enterprise data accuracy, finding that inaccurate and low-quality data will cost American business as much as $600 billion this year alone. Data quality expert Larry English also observes that in large organizations, as much as 50% of the IT budget is often spent on information scrap and rework as a result of redundant data storage.

"Poor data quality can significantly hinder a company's ability to take advantage of its information assets, so we're seeing data accuracy become a high priority in many organizations," said John Siegman, Vice President for Centrus Sales at Sagent. "Sagent provides the most sophisticated duplicate-detection and merge/purge technology in the industry, and we're please to be working with Computer Horizons to give their customers a high degree of confidence in the quality of their data."

About Sagent Merge/Purge

Merge/Purge is designed to match records across multiple data sources when there is no common key, ensuring a complete and accurate view by identifying the master record. Developed for consumer and business-to-business processing, Merge/Purge allows the use of multiple matching algorithms and configurable match logic, finds and consolidates more duplicate records with fewer "false positive" matches, and allows comparisons using many different views of the underlying data.

Merge/Purge can identify records from CRM applications that represent members of the same household, and then generate keys that allow this information to be consolidated. Once householded, Sagent Merge/Purge can "roll-up" numeric information such as sales histories to create a complete picture of a company's best customers and support targeted marketing campaigns.
