Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) installed an enterprise data warehouse from Teradata in 1988, which today has grown to support more than 1,000 users in 25 business departments. JCPS estimates that the return on investment for their Teradata solution is between 10 to 15 times the cost of its annual investment.
Utilizing the Teradata Backup Archive Recovery (BAR) solution, JCPS can now back up its entire warehouse in 90 minutes.
From managing federal funding to correlating professional development and student test performance, the Teradata system has become a mission-critical component for numerous departments within JCPS. Teradata has also helped JCPS identify complex interrelationships, providing knowledge that supports complex decision making and creates a springboard for new opportunities.
JCPS' Teradata system has turned a huge collection of information into a highly valuable asset, providing significant benefits many times over its cost.
