The U.S. Air Force (USAF) uses its Teradata Warehouse to track millions of aircraft parts at 82 major bases around the world. USAF also monitors traffic, logging every mission and scheduling and recording maintenance.
"Before implementing the Teradata-based Air Force Enterprise Data Warehouse (AF EDW), there wasn't visibility on a timely basis," says Mike Riley, AF EDW Program Manager at the Air Force Materiel Command in Dayton, Ohio. "It might have taken weeks or months to extract information manually out of all the stovepipe transaction systems and put it together, and even then reliability was suspect."
Today with state-of-the-art data integration in place, the USAF can quickly and confidently make accurate decisions that have the potential to affect countless lives. "In a strategic sense, this gives commanders the ability to know what's available to deploy, allowing them to make more rapid decisions," Riley says.

[1Q 2004] Innovate or die. This is one of the unforgiving rules that govern the dog-eat-dog world of business, where profits determine success and competition drives innovation. And, increasingly, innovation doesn't just mean jumping on the latest strategy or technology to drive productivity and growth. Successful companies use existing technology in new, smarter ways to stay ahead of the game.

[3Q 2003] Those who have trouble keeping track of things on their desk should try tracking 6,183 United States Air Force planes and all their millions of sophisticated parts. The task is made even more complicated by the sheer logistics involved in monitoring traffic at each of 184 air bases worldwide, logging every air mission, scheduling and recording maintenance, and inventorying surplus parts. When lives depend on having planes where you need them, when you need them—and in good working order—you can't afford to miss a beat.
