NCR

Founded in 1884 in Dayton, Ohio, the NCR Corporation is now a $5.6 billion, NYSE-listed company providing technology solutions worldwide, including store automation and automated teller machines, consulting services, media products and hardware technology.

NCR's Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) from Teradata initiative was critical to the company's successful transformation from a primarily hardware-focused and country-centric organizational model to an integrated, solution-oriented business structure with a global focus.

NCR's Teradata Warehouse solution has managed to reduce its financial close cycle from 14 days to six while establishing worldwide reporting integrity standards. NCR has realized $10 million annual savings in inventory carrying costs, $200 million sustainable reduction in accounts receivable, $50 million reduction in annual finance costs, and $22 million cost savings over the first five years of the EDW implementation for Worldwide Customer Services.
