The Department of Defense faces new challenges each day. Equipment, supplies and personnel need to be mobilized at a moment's notice — which requires the unprecedented levels of supply chain visibility that Teradata solutions can provide. Vital answers for decision support also need to be obtained in minutes instead of hours — another area where Teradata can be of service.

The U.S. Navy partnered their Naval Air Systems command with a sophisticated Enterprise Data Warehouse from Teradata to support operations of aircraft worldwide in the war against terrorists. Navy analysts can now base decisions on current near real-time data instead of 30 to 45 days old.

In addition, the U.S. Air Force has implemented a Teradata Solution to help track their entire inventory of planes and parts, monitor traffic, log missions and schedule maintenance worldwide.
