ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 1998--Customer Insight Company, a Metromail company and leading provider of customer-centric marketing software and solutions, today announced that Compaq Computer Corp. licensed the AnalytiX(R) System software.

After examining several vendors' solutions, Compaq selected Customer Insight Company's flagship marketing data mart solution to help enhance reseller marketing communications efforts by targeting the right products, solutions and messages to Compaq Authorized Resellers.

The AnalytiX System is a sophisticated marketing data mart that accesses warehouse data from multiple sources and provides quick analysis to support strategic planning and tactical implementation of marketing programs. The AnalytiX System uses a database engine optimized for marketing applications to access, manage and analyze large volumes of detailed customer information and support customer profiling and segmentation, campaign management and response tracking, acquisition and retention program development, data modeling, and profitability analysis.

Compaq North America Marketing Communications selected the AnalytiX System for its ability to drive Compaq's customer-centric approach to business decisions. Headquartered in Houston, Compaq North America Marketing Communications supports product and program announcements, enhancements and promotion information deliverables to all Compaq Authorized Resellers in North America. Using the AnalytiX System, Compaq plans to develop a more comprehensive reseller database, customize analysis to better understand its resellers' specialties and target the right messages at the right time when communicating with resellers -- including delivering timely product and program information, newsletters, promotion catalogs or other marketing promotions.

"We are delighted that Compaq selected the AnalytiX System as the best solution to support its marketing and strategic planning," said Tery Larrew, president of Customer Insight Company. "The AnalytiX System will facilitate Compaq's analysis, development and measurement of reseller marketing communication programs, providing a more comprehensive tool to evaluate reseller segments and communication efforts, and enable them to develop more efficient marketing programs."
