You get intelligence that screams. This translates to a competitive business advantage. Imagine Einstein behind the wheel of a Buggati, the world’s fastest racing vehicle. Not your typical driver – or automobile. Today, SAP and Teradata announced an expanded partnership so SAP Business Warehouse (BW) will run on Teradata. This is not your typical BI and database alliance – though the combination is catching on. The deeper collaboration will result in a competitive advantage for our shared customers. Our engineers have already started work to make it happen. Our customers will benefit from the integration to a single enterprise data warehouse platform – they will be able to:
- Reduce the complexity and data movement that has been typical for many joint Teradata and SAP users. Our partnership will also add functionality through BI consolidation and standardization.
- Increase user visibility to detailed enterprise data to provide richer business insight and faster decision making.
- Increase the ease-of-use of their BI architecture
- Lower total cost of ownership for SAP and Teradata systems while protecting and extending the value of the business investment in our respective technologies
We are also building a joint Co-Innovation Lab in SAP’s offices in Palo Alto, California, where customers can come and work with us on integration opportunities between SAP & Teradata. We’ll promote this in the interest of giving our customers everything they need to raise their collective intelligence and accelerate their business growth. Not every one of us is an Einstein, but with the power of SAP and Teradata at our fingertips, we will operate with increased intelligence at unprecedented speed. That’s how international races – in business and on the track – are always won.
