Maximizing Value and Performance
Few companies will make a more strategic technology investment than an enterprise data warehouse. Teradata Corporation recognizes that leading companies are always trying to drive additional value from their data warehousing investment by further optimizing business processes and improving decision making capabilities.
Teradata continually works with leading-edge customers to develop new data warehousing functionality that provides the foundation for innovative applications and business insight.
Teradata® Planning and Upgrade Services ensure that critical members of your data warehousing team are knowledgeable about the latest Teradata enhancements and are leveraging these features to drive greater return on your technology investment. Teradata Planning and Upgrade Services consist of a New Features Workshop, as well as System Upgrade Management.
New Features Workshop
You can begin realizing performance gains immediately after a Teradata upgrade. However, planning for these performance gains can begin now. Teradata's New Features Workshop highlights the latest functionality and provides feature utilization guidelines.
A key component of these collaborative sessions is a new feature roadmap customized for your business. Teradata consultants will work with you to assess and prioritize new feature adoption for your specific applications and workload requirements. These collaborative sessions will cover topics such as:
- Performance features
- Active enablement
- Enterprise fit
- Ease of use
- Quality and supportability
- Teradata tools and utilities
This dialogue will ensure that you're ready to benefit from your Teradata upgrade as quickly as possible.
System Upgrade Management
A critical step in any upgrade process is ensuring that all queries, including those embedded in your applications, will run predictably once you've upgraded or expanded your Teradata solution.
Teradata consultants can use the Teradata System Emulation Tool and Visual Explain capability to migrate data from your production system to an emulation system used to compare optimizer plans between your current and future environments. This will allow for early identification of any differences in optimizer plans and allow you to validate any changes prior to the new system going into production. Teradata consultants will also use other tools, such as Index Wizard and Statistics Wizard, to help you optimize your new environment.
The Data Warehouse Experts
Teradata Planning and Upgrade Services are a vital component of any upgrade project. Once the upgrade is complete, Teradata consultants will continue to work with you to implement the features identified in your prioritized roadmap and ensure that you're receiving maximum benefit from your investment in Teradata enhancements.
