• #3: This is what we do.   We empower companies to achieve high-impact business outcomes through analytics at scale on an agile data foundation. How do we do this?   We focus on achieving ongoing and consistent high impact business outcomes across different business processes. It’s all about the data and analytics—broken down into these three areas:   Multi-Genre Analytics Modern Data Integration At Scale
• #5: A main part of the simplification of the environment is to understand that not all data is equal and not all processes are necessary everywhere. You want to leverage the right tools in the right way at the right time. It is also good to understand that data and analytics are used in many different ways. A good point to remember is that any resource used incorrectly will be expensive. When looking at the total eco-system there are many considerations around the simplification of process and the reduction of cost. This is not just a one dimensional problem. Many organizations do try to look at this is a “cost to store” problem. However there are more important aspects such as the cost to develop new analytics, the cost to deploy and maintain production system as new ideas prove themselves, and the cost of data management and transfer. If done without a cohesive plan in place, the cheapest solution can become very expensive. Teradata has been a successful player in the delivery of total analytical ecosystems. The Unified Data Architecture takes that experience and expands it to include a whole host of new platforms, tools, and processes which in turn simplify the IT and user experiences as well as drives a lower total cost for delivery of higher value.
• #7: Teradata Everywhere delivers a modern analytic environment is flexible to address the needs of your business today and the future as your business changes. Teradata everywhere is built on four pillars: Analyze Anything, Deploy Anywhere, buy any way and move anytime. Analyze anything enables analytic users throughout the organization to use their preferred analytic tools and engines across data sources, at scale. Deploy anywhere enables analytic processing across flexible deployment options, including the Teradata Cloud and public clouds, as well as on-premises on Teradata hardware or commodity hardware. Buy Any Way – Empowers companies to purchase software in more accommodating ways based on specific use cases through simplified pricing bundles, subscription-based licenses, and as-a-service options. Move Anytime – Future-proofs buying decisions by taking advantage of our software license portability that provides flexibility to run analytics across deployment options. The flexibility of Teradata Everywhere de-risks major decisions, allowing you to move forward today with confidence knowing your financial, architectural, and application development investments are protected.
• #8: Let’s discuss each of these key pillars of Teradata Everywhere, beginning with Analyze Anything.
• #9: Our research shows that 90 percent of organizations will deploy analytics both on-premises and in the cloud by 2020. Therefore, organizations need analytic software that can run wherever they choose to deploy it—now, and as their requirements change.
• #10: But to help de-risk your decisions, we’ve got you covered. Teradata Hybrid Cloud is enabled by “Teradata Everywhere” – which means the very same software can be deployed across a wide range of options. Whether in an IntelliCloud environment that Teradata manages and delivers as a service… Or software subscriptions in public cloud marketplaces… Or in a private cloud using a customer’s own virtualized infrastructure… Or on-premises with our highly-integrated physical systems. Regardless of deployment choice, Teradata software is the same across the board, and data and workloads can be moved and shared between them. We believe this strategy is unique to Teradata. While other companies may have deployment choice, they typically have different versions of software in those environments… …OR they have much fewer choices available, such as cloud-only or just one type of public cloud offering. But with Teradata you get deployment choice AND software consistency.
• #12: During our business transformation we’ve totally revamped our pricing strategy We simplified our pricing bundles to match workload requirements Evolved to subscription-based licenses to reduce the need for large capital outlays Launched Teradata IntelliCloud – our as-a-service option enabling customers to focus on business outcomes rather than managing infrastructure
• #14: Teradata now has a new comprehensive software licensing model. In the past we had multiple models depending on deployment choice… … and we used to charge for a variety of value-add options that most customers felt should have been included in the foundational price. With the new subscription-based licensing model, however, all that has changed. There is now consistency across all deployment types as well as license portability across all deployment types, which allows customers to move workloads as their needs change. We’ve created simplified bundles or “tiers” at varying price points so that customers can choose the appropriate feature set for their needs – or the right tool for the job. And being subscription-based greatly lowers the up-front costs and allows a much smoother OpEx investment pattern over time.
• #15: Another key element of Teradata’s strategy and a key factor in de-risking your decisions is Teradata license portability… … which is the ability for a customer to transfer licenses from one deployment type to another. So instead of separate investments resulting in separate buckets of money allocated to different deployment types… …it’s as if Teradata customers have one large bucket of orange Teradata tokens that can be distributed and re-allocated across deployment types as necessary as business needs change. Think of it like different types engines in cars; some are very powerful and generate more horsepower and higher speed at the expense of higher fuel consumption… …while others are very efficient but cannot accelerate quite as fast or pull as much weight. In all cases, though, they use the same type of gasoline which is portable and can be shared between them – just like Teradata software licenses being portable among deployment modes.
• #16: Analyze Anything – The versatility of the Teradata Analytics Platform derisks your analytic platform decision by incorporating your choice of analytic functions and engines, using your preferred analytic tools and languages across data types with the best scalability, elasticity, and performance to drive superior business insights. Deploy Anywhere – Flexible deployment options de-risk your short- and long-term architecture decisions and provide the agility to change as your business needs evolve. Buy Any Way – Simplified pricing bundles, subscription-based licenses, and Teradata IntelliCloud™ options de-risk your financial decisions by making it easier to buy software and leverage as-a-service and “pay-as-you-go” options. Move Anytime – Software license portability provides tremendous operational agility and de-risks your architectural decisions by allowing you to move licenses freely between deployment options as your business evolves.
• #17: With Teradata Everywhere, you are “future ready.” The flexibility of Teradata Everywhere de-risks major decisions, allowing you to move forward today with confidence knowing your financial, architectural, and application development investments are protected.
• #18: The Teradata Database is a powerful multi-function database and we continue to adopt new data and table types, various analytic functions, and working on extensibility features. Easier use of Analytics across the UDA How many of you have heard of Avro? format for streaming data; framework for more like CSV time series Pivot; Patrick: Lag&Lead, geospatial joins with predicate and other functions in his advance analytics section. In the extensibility category we have added Java and C/C++ debuggers, and support for several features in Querygrid
