Many companies are facing business improvement opportunities such as compliance requests, poor data quality, and data security/privacy just to name a few. How do you tackle these challenges and gain business value from your data warehousing initiatives? It’s important for your professional services company to understand, not only the technology, but YOUR industry and business issues, so that the right technology solution can be created to meet your specific needs. We’d like to show you how Teradata Professional Services has helped others, with these issues. and can help you tackle your thorniest problems…
Warren Buffett is quoted as saying, “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.” The building of your data warehouse will require time and investment, and it’s important the job gets done on-time, on-budget and with as little rework as possible. Your data warehouse consultant should be able to answer the questions posed above. Some consultancies have technical expertise, but little experience translating business requirements into technical requirements. Others have consultants who may know BI or ETL but have little data warehousing experience, especially with the Teradata platform. Still others may have an IT implementation methodology but not a data warehousing specific methodology. For faster business results with lower risk, the clear choice is Teradata Professional Services.
The value of Teradata Professional Services is clear: Expert industry consulting – we understand our customer’s industry, customer, and pain points Deep experience and skills- Teradata Professional Services consultants have deep technical expertise in data warehousing, business intelligence tools, applications, and data management technologies. Complete Data Warehouse Service Provider- Teradata can help fulfill your data warehousing vision through our comprehensive services portfolio. Because Teradata provides a truly unique solution based on the simplicity of an integrated data warehouse, we offer data warehousing services tailored to many diverse industries Data Warehousing Focus – we are focused solely on the DW market. Other consulting companies will put general BI or tools consultants on a DW project and expect them to sink-or-swim. We apply our DW experts to the tasks. Our services provide an accelerator for faster time-to-value Faster Business Results - We’ve been making it happen with more than 25 years of experience building more than 1,200 data warehouses. Our customers represent some of the best-known Global 2000 and Fortune 1000 companies. We’re measured by the results our customers achieve through industry recognition of best-practices and via awards. Another attribute of track record is lower risk.
Technology consulting is much different than industry consulting. Industry consultants understand your unique industry, it’s pain points and challenges, and have developed solutions to meet those needs. Each industry is different and it’s important to have data warehousing consultants who have deep and practical experience translating industry specific business requirements into technical requirements. Teradata Professional Services serves clients in all major industries (see Teradata Top 10 above) and has tailored solutions that can drive tangible business results for your enterprise.
Whether you are in healthcare, financial services or any other industry, you can be sure Teradata “speaks your language” and understands your key challenges. In fact, our industry experts are not only knowledgeable in your key industry but are also data warehousing experts. Our industry knowledge has been codified into unique tools we use to help accelerate time to market. These tools include: Logical data models (by industry) to structure and organize your data and translate into a physical data model. Enterprise Information / Data integration (i.e., EDW Roadmap) is a state-of-the-art visual tool used to intelligently plan the implementation of an enterprise data warehouse strategy Business Impact Models (for business case and ROI analysis) Business Improvement Opportunities by industry to tackle your unique pain points (inventory optimization for retail, track and trace for transportation, insufficient funds request for financial services etc…)
Choosing a consultant with deep experience and skills in data warehousing is key to the success of your project. Teradata consultants have an average of ten years experience in data warehousing and many are highly sought technical and thought leaders in their respective fields. Simply attend a Teradata PARTNERS User Group Conference and you’ll see what we mean. Our consultants also know what works in real life. Theory is nice, but sometime impractical. You can be sure you’ll have consultants who have real life experience with a data warehouse from Teradata. Your Professional Services team will bring best practices to the table—saving many hours of headache, delay and rework. Skills are another area that shouldn’t be underestimated, especially when it comes to the Teradata platform. Teradata consultants have unparalleled knowledge with Teradata—as you would expect—but also have technical skills with all third party BI and ETL vendors. We bring the skills to offer you a complete data warehousing solution.
Under the category of deep experience skills, we’d be remiss if we didn’t discuss Teradata's global coverage and broad consulting capabilities. With over 3,000 professional consultants with coverage in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific/Japan you can be sure we can bring the right talent to your data warehousing project. We also have the right blend of skills at the right prices. Whether you are looking for onsite, onshore, or offshore resources, Teradata has the global talent to meet your specific needs.
A good methodology helps ensure quality, consistency and project timeliness. With the installation of a data warehouse, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars are at stake. Sadly, many IT professionals choose to work without a methodology and, instead, choose a data warehouse based on their experience with other IT projects. While in some instances a successful implementation can be made without a methodology, in most cases, the project will experience missed tasks, schedule delays, cost over-runs and lack of user acceptance of the data warehouse. The Teradata Solutions Methodology is a patent-pending collection of integrated processes, customized tools and quantifiable metrics from initial strategic planning to technical implementation, user training and customer support. The Teradata Solutions Methodology is the product of more than 20 years of experience incorporating highly successful data warehousing solutions and is continually refined with best practices developed with many of the world's most successful data warehouses.
