"We have some aggressive data warehouse plans, and we recognized that speed of implementation as well as system performance and scale were important. By implementing the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance, our data warehouse allows sales and marketing to track, capture and analyze millions of customer activities, both interactions and transactions, over a long period of time in record performance. We will be able to use this information to drive our business forward through our new sophisticated customer relationship management platform," said Alex Grigorian, vice president, enterprise technology, IHG.

"Now IHG can address its immediate need for more detailed and comprehensive sales and marketing information, on a foundation that supports a broader approach to data management."
