Teradata has extensive experience helping government agencies in their efforts to stretch budgets, reduce fraud and better serve the needs of taxpaying citizens. Our government contacts include federal and state government healthcare agencies, some of the nation's largest school systems and districts, the U.S. Postal Service and branches of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). From managing healthcare claims and beneficiary records to tracking thousands of school buses to delivering millions of pieces of mail and providing crop insurance to the nation's farms, Teradata Consultants have the tools to help government agencies store, manage, access and distribute data so that the right information gets to the right hands to provide essential services.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) process over 40 billion claims and other beneficiary records a year with the help of an Enterprise Data Warehouse from Teradata.

The U.S. Postal Service delivers to 142 million homes and businesses across the nation every day, accounting for 46% of global mail volume—which is why they engaged Teradata in 2000 to develop an Enterprise Data Warehouse to serve their growing financial management, operational decision support and marketing needs.

The Jefferson County Public School System (JCPS), which serves the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area, has more than 97,000 students, 18,000 full- and part-time employees, and a fleet of more than 1,500 vehicles, making them one of the nation's top 10 transportation agencies. JCPS's Enterprise Data Warehouse from Teradata has grown from a mere eight gigabytes in 1988 to more than 1.5 terabytes—all securely managed by a single database administrator.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) provides 600,000 farmers and ranchers nationwide with $33 billion in protection for 83 crops—with policies sold and serviced by 17 different private insurance companies. To date they have saved taxpayers over $180 million through proactive efforts against waste, fraud and abuse—thanks in large part to the implementation of advanced data mining through a Teradata Warehouse Solution.
