PING
A leader in innovation in the golf club industry, PING now holds more than 400 patents and tailors clubs to individual players with a unique custom fitting system.
Since 1990, PING, Inc. has relied on its Teradata Warehouse to manage its manufacturing and sales operations. PING's production people can query their Active Data Warehouse to determine which orders are pending and what components are available to fill those orders. That, along with streamlined production and assembly operations, enabled PING to reduce order fulfillment from six weeks to just 48 hours. The company has also slashed product development from two years to nine months and developed a database with nearly 20 years of customer data, serial numbers and club specifications.
"There is no one else that does business quite the way we do in our industry, and we couldn't do it without Teradata," says Kent Crossland, PING's Information Services Director.

Teradata Magazine | When worlds collide |

[2Q 2004] Efficiency is a top goal in the frenzy of our daily lives.We often want to complete multiple tasks with one action-the proverbial killing of two birds with one stone-like stopping by the dry cleaner on your way to the market. In our quest for efficiency, consumer electronics manufacturers now boast wireless telephones with built-in digital cameras and PDAs with integrated cellular/walkie-talkie/speaker phones, and the home office now enjoys the benefits of a printer that also serves as a copier, fax and scanner in one unit.
