Joint Solutions Between Teradata and BearingPoint:

Data Mart Consolidation
Most organizations have inherited a plethora of legacy systems, databases and data marts that were originally designed to support specific geographical regions, products, financial segments and customer groups. Issues associated with data marts - data redundancy, quality, latency, inconsistency and business rule management - can have serious operational impacts on an organization's ability to react quickly to changing market conditions. Because comprehensive strategic information about customers, products, markets, networks and sales remains hidden in numerous conflicting, duplicated systems throughout the organization, costs increase while organizational performance decreases.

Technical Operations/MRO
Teradata and BearingPoint uniquely provide a single view of information to companies whose performance depends on the management of long-life and high-value assets - military organizations, manufacturers, airlines, package distribution and rail companies. MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul), which can account for 15-25% of a company's overall operating costs, helps keep assets mission-ready and operating safely and cost effectively. Teradata provides the diverse MRO user community - ranging from military generals setting fleet/mission strategies to front-line supervisors executing day-to-day priorities - the information they need to:

Increase asset utilization, with improved readiness, increased flexibility and availability.
Reduce inventory, with improved in-stock availability, higher turns, better vendor management.
Increase labor productivity, from better accountability and improved coordination and anticipation.

SAP / Teradata Integration
Teradata and BearingPoint have developed a solution to give users of SAP® Business Information Warehouse (BW) access to detailed data stored in Teradata. Integrating Teradata with SAP BW offers significant opportunities in terms of savings and improved analytics not available from SAP BW alone. Combining the enhanced analytical capabilities and scalability of Teradata with the out-of-box SAP data integration provides a comprehensive, integrated foundation for enhanced strategic and tactical decision making. Detailed data not needed for operations can be migrated to Teradata where it can be merged with other (non-SAP) data sources and used for new data-intense decision-support applications. The Teradata Virtual Access Solution offered by Teradata and BearingPoint includes:

A Teradata Warehouse
Consulting services for building a Teradata Logical Data Model from existing SAP BW Business Component descriptors.
Consulting services for building SAP Virtual InfoCubes with Services, Remote Cubes or UD Connect components for creating an interface between SAP and Teradata
Consulting services and tools for loading SAP® R/3® or SAP BW data into Teradata.
Consulting services for adapting existing custom applications, adapting SAP or Teradata written applications and writing new analytics
Integration services for embedding these applications and tools into the company's portal

Together, Teradata and BearingPoint have assisted early adopters of this solution around the world to integrate their SAP and Teradata environments, allowing these companies to make the most of their data assets. Teradata and BearingPoint provide clients across the globe a true understanding of their business, resulting in greater insight, agility and competitiveness. Whether your company faces the challenge of consolidating multiple data marts across the enterprise, creating an EDW with a 360-degree view of the business, leveraging operational applications more effectively or improving the performance management of your data, Teradata and BearingPoint can help you use your information more intelligently.
