It just keeps getting better. Three more Teradata customers have won awards for their data warehouse-driven information systems. Nationwide Insurance has just won two Performance Awards for BI Leadership and Information Applications from Ventana Research. And just days ago, two more Teradata customers, Hallmark and Cabela’s, won prestigious national awards (and so did we)! The GOLD awards were presented at the National Center for Database Marketing (NCDM) conference. It was “déjà vu all over again” for Teradata, because our customers have earned many awards for creating business value. This calls for a toast: may the Teradata community keep on winning world recognition for raising intelligence in 2010! That’s what we do best.
