ARNHEM, The Netherlands, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

Human Inference, one of Europe's leading organizations in the area of data quality solutions, is pleased to announce its listing by Gartner Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of its 2008 Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, *. Gartner has examined fourteen international providers of data quality solutions based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.

"The report states that most of the innovations come from outside the United States. During the last year, we have started to roll out HIquality Suite 6 for our customers and are receiving internationally positive feedback on the agility of the solution as well as the improved ease of use. Next to that we see a steep increase in the number of customers that are signing up for our SaaS offering." according to Winfried van Holland, CTO of Human Inference

Hugo Verwijs, CEO of Human Inference is delighted and believes the appraisal is a confirmation of his company's strategy: "We are very pleased with the evaluation in this well-known independent report, where we believe Human Inference continues to have a strong position as an independent European vendor in a growing, innovative and volatile marketplace."

In the report, Gartner describes 'visionaries' as organizations that "demonstrate a strong understanding of current and future market trends and directions, such as the importance of ongoing monitoring of data quality, engagement of business subject matter experts and delivery of data quality services. They exhibit capabilities aligned with these trends, but may lack the market presence, brand recognition, customer base and resources of larger vendors."
