Dell embarked on the first deployment of Teradata technology within its enterprise in 2001 and determined that their long-term needs would be best met by Teradata's centralized, enterprise data warehouse approach.

"We greatly value our relationship with Dell and look forward to helping optimize their environment to meet unique business needs," said Randy Lea, vice president of products and services, Teradata Corporation. "Dell's market is dynamic and enterprise analytics enables the business agility needed to spot and take advantage of opportunities in the market and create new operating efficiency."

"Business intelligence is vital to Dell and is a critical piece of helping us better anticipate and meet the desires of our customers, driving efficiencies, and gaining critical insights," said James Franklin, vice president of enterprise business intelligence at Dell.  "Teradata provides an important enabling technology that helps us understand what has happened, but more importantly what is likely to happen as we forecast future business patterns for our customers and business processes."

Unlike other data warehouse vendors that only have a single product with a single price point, the Teradata Purpose-Built Platform Family offers new customers options to start small and grow. Existing customers can optimize their data warehouse environment for price and performance.

All of the Teradata Platform Family members provide enterprise class capability for today's toughest environments. As customers analyze their analytical needs in developing their data warehouse architecture, Teradata acts as a trusted advisor in presenting a range of options, rather than an approach that one size, one price fits all.
