Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) operates one of the largest railroad networks in North America, with 32,500 route miles covering 28 states and two Canadian provinces.
In 2002, the company developed OnTrack, a tool that allows managers to create forecasts using a variety of variables. BNSF monitors key performance indicators through its Corporate Dashboard, enabling users to identify and resolve issues quickly. By 2004, BNSF was named a Premier Technology Leader by Computerworld magazine and received awards from both Target and Toyota Logistics Services for customer service and from Wal-Mart for Carrier of the Year.
"We need to have core systems which are industrial-strength, stable and secure," says Bonnie Henn-Pritchard, BNSF's technology services application team leader. "We are continuing to develop applications and find ways to get more information and analytics from our transactional systems into the Teradata Warehouse in near-real time."
