Enterprise data warehousing
Data warehousing is the process of capturing, storing and analyzing data to gain insight. This process is built on an enterprise data warehouse which is a single, centralized application-neutral repository of an organization’s current and historical data.
Active data warehousing
The foundation of enterprise intelligence, active data warehousing drives valuable information into the company’s operations and to hundreds of front-line decision-makers. It enables smarter, more competitive decisions through near real-time information access and analysis and predictive analytics on customer or business activity. Active data warehousing supports both long-running strategic and short-running tactical queries. The active data warehouse provides strategic and tactical intelligence throughout the enterprise.
Active enterprise intelligence
- ·
Active enterprise intelligence is what an active data warehouse delivers. Active
enterprise intelligence is the alignment of strategic and operational systems, people,
technology and processes to make better, faster decisions throughout all levels of the
organization. Teradata delivers active enterprise intelligence through real-time data
warehousing technology, professional services and applications. Teradata enables its
clients to convert information into intelligence, and intelligence into actions, leveraging
existing operational applications and communications infrastructure.
- · This capability helps decision-makers and front-line workers achieve new productivity
levels, speed and precision in decision-making, manage business complexities, and
respond to business events while they are occurring.
