LONDON, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata
Universe EMEA 2018 - Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the leading
cloud-based data and analytics company, announced today that it
continues to accelerate the movement of significant customer
analytic workloads to the cloud. Enterprise-class organizations
such as Ticketmaster, Arcos Dorados, Vizient, Silverton Casino and
Monsanto are now using Teradata technology to run millions of
queries per day in production-level, advanced analytic systems in
the cloud. With an innovative product portfolio and licensing
structures designed to de-risk buying decisions, Teradata gives its
customers the most reliable, secure and proven path to the cloud at
the speed and in the deployment environment that is right for
them.
"According to the recent survey, 'The State of Analytics in the
Cloud,' a clear majority of organizations (83 percent) believe the
cloud is the best place to run analytics, but most are concerned
with performance, security and other inhibitors," said Tim Henry, Senior Vice President, Strategic
Offering Management at Teradata. "Helping customers overcome the
barriers to enterprise analytics in the cloud is central to our
approach and is supported by our multiple deployment options and
portable subscription pricing. Arguably the most significant factor
for a modern organization looking to maximize its competitive
advantage, is in what they can accomplish with powerful and
sophisticated advanced analytics. We provide this capability with
the Teradata Analytics Platform and it's clear that no other
company can deliver a path to secure, high-performing, always-on
analytics in the cloud at scale like Teradata can."
Teradata is proud to bring the benefits of cloud consumption –
scalable, self-service, consumption-based – to analytics for the
world's most visionary companies, including:
Ticketmaster
Ticketmaster is the global market leader
in live event ticketing that drives 500 million ticket transactions
per year. Through exclusive partnerships with thousands of venues,
artists, sports leagues, and arts and theater tours, Ticketmaster
delivers unparalleled access to the most iconic live events to
millions of fans worldwide.
"From finance and accounting to product and marketing, every
department within Ticketmaster depends on data to make better
decisions and drive better experiences for live entertainment fans
and our clients," said Shawn Moon,
Director, Database Solutions at Ticketmaster Entertainment.
"Teradata IntelliCloud has allowed us to manage costs, avoid a
costly capital expenditure, and focus more on value-add tasks
rather than system maintenance and management."
Arcos Dorados
Latin American-based Arcos Dorados owns,
operates and franchises McDonald's Corp. in South and Central America, and in the Caribbean. In an effort to drive better
decision-making across the business, Arcos Dorados used Teradata to
move to the cloud – upgrading its technological platform while
reducing costs and seeing significant gains in scalability and
agility.
"One of the biggest benefits in moving to Teradata
IntelliCloud has been enabling our IT team to stop worrying about
the data platform and its underlying infrastructure, and instead
refocus on higher-value tasks that drive better and more innovative
business decisions," said Patricio
Crowley, Manager for Corporate IT Applications and
Technology for Arcos Dorados.
Vizient, Inc.
Vizient is the largest member-driven
health care performance improvement company in the United States, connecting its member
hospitals with the knowledge, solutions and expertise that helps
them achieve their goals for delivering efficient patient care and
quality outcomes. Working with Teradata allowed the company to
seamlessly move to the cloud and avoid a large capital expense,
while gaining world-class customer service.
"We need to ensure our data is reliable, available and
maintainable, and that our platform supports these demands," said
Andy DeShong, Senior Vice President
of Applications Development at Vizient, Inc. "This becomes even
more important as our company moves further into predictive
analytics and machine learning. With Teradata IntelliCloud, we know
we can scale our database footprint as, and when, we need it. The
support we have received from Teradata has been incredible, and the
service team is 100-percent dedicated to our success."
Silverton Casino
Silverton Casino Hotel in
Las Vegas is a contemporary luxury
lodge-themed resort that requires access to its data and analytics
24 hours a day, seven days a week. The company leveraged Teradata's
cloud expertise to expand its business insights and improve uptime,
ensuring that users had access to critical data nearly 100 percent
of the time.
"We chose Teradata because of the company's strong experience
and track record in the hospitality industry and we are delighted
that our move to the cloud was not only cost-effective, it has
already resulted in extract, transform, load (ETL) task performance
improvements of 30 percent," said Kirk
Golding, Senior Vice President of IT and Special Projects
for Silverton Casino.
Monsanto
Monsanto is a global, modern agriculture
company that develops solutions to help farmers around the world
grow crops while using energy, water and land more efficiently. Its
strategy is to move more applications to the cloud, including the
transfer of certain production analytics to Teradata IntelliCloud
for AWS, which maintained the analytic scalability and elasticity
the business has relied on in the past.
"The cloud offers so many advantages – shorter build times,
more complete administration in terms of backups and upgrades, a
broader range of software options, and the ability to scale the
platform to meet unpredictable workloads – and we really saw those
benefits come to life following our successful experience with
Teradata IntelliCloud," said Troy
Crites, Database Platform Architect at Monsanto.
