Teradata Bolsters Managed Services, Product Offerings for Users of Amazon Web Services (AWS)

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2016

As one of the only teams with deep business, industry, and architectural consulting expertise focused solely on data and analytics, Teradata's Consulting and Managed Services' AWS offering extends the vast catalog of capabilities that Teradata has been providing to on-premises customers for 30 years. With public cloud infrastructure creating a more agile, distributed environment, companies can perform analytics and optimize costs in ways that weren't previously possible. Teradata helps customers leverage a hybrid cloud environment that drives measurable business value using Teradata products, AWS and numerous other industry-leading data and analytics vendors, technologies, and open source tools.

"In the buildup to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games we needed to incorporate an enterprise relational database capability into our existing data ecosystem in AWS, and jumped at the opportunity to leverage the new Teradata Database on AWS solution," said David Miller, Director, Data and Business Intelligence at Seven West Media. "Partnering with AWS-certified architects and designers from Teradata, we successfully implemented and integrated the solution in less than three weeks. This gave us a reliable and scalable ecosystem that allowed us to transform huge volumes of data into critical business insights needed throughout the event. The capability played a key role in driving the engagement of the more than 1 million new users who registered on our Olympics app, as well as a phenomenal 29% increase in average minutes streamed!"

Details about how this enormous project was accomplished in a matter of weeks will be shared by Seven West Media, Teradata and AWS in a joint webinar on November 15 from 1 to 2 pm PT. Registration is open and free.
