OMAHA, Neb., October 26, 2009 — infoGROUP (NASDAQ: IUSA), the leading provider of data driven and interactive resources for targeted sales, marketing and research solutions today announced it is leveraging the Company`s knowledge and expertise in the nonprofit arena by combining May Development Services and Triplex to create infoGROUP Nonprofit.
"infoGROUP Nonprofit delivers a full range of postal and digital direct marketing services to our nonprofit clients," said Ed Mallin, President, infoGROUP Service Group. "Creative, print and digital campaigns, audience targeting, data processing, in-depth analytics; the infoGROUP Nonprofit team is the industry leader in each of these areas. This is exciting news for our client base."

President of Direct Media | Millard added, "The combined group creates a single strategic solution for clients and will service the complete nonprofit market including health, religious, environmental, political, animal welfare and social service fields."
