Mountain View, Calif. - Oct. 16, 2006 - Habeas, Inc. (www.habeas.com), the industry leader in email reputation services, today announced a strategic partnership with Email Data Source, Inc. (EDS), the leading provider of email intelligence technology, to increase the breadth and depth of information they offer their customers.   As both companies leverage extensive expertise in helping customers enhance the effectiveness of their email marketing efforts, the relationship has dual benefit.  EDS Email Analyst provides Habeas with complete transparency into the email marketing efforts of more than 18,000 brands.  Habeas will leverage this data for insight into the email marketing landscape as well as create value-add customized reports for its client base.  In turn, the partnership with Habeas allows EDS greater exposure to its core audience - brands and agencies that have a vested interest in their email marketing programs.

Email Analyst, launched in mid-2004, provides unique and actionable information regarding the email marketing landscape for the fast-growing email marketing segment.  Since its launch, Email Analyst has become an essential tool for companies on both the buy side and sell side of the digital marketing arena.  For Habeas, Email Analyst acts as a powerful quality assurance tool for its own services, providing insights into the quality and efficacy of delivered email.  As a result, Habeas can better monitor customers' affiliate offers for compliance issues which might destroy brand equity or lead to ISP blacklisting or lawsuits.

"We share Habeas' commitment to providing email marketers with technologies and insights that help increase the effectiveness of their email strategy.  We are extremely pleased to be working with an industry leader like Habeas, as our complementary technology can further assist its customer base in achieving its marketing goals," said William McCloskey, CEO of Email Data Source, Inc.
