DAYTON, Ohio —
Teradata Corporation (NYSE:TDC), the global leader in
enterprise data warehousing, announced that RBC Financial Group (Canada) was named a winner, with Teradata, in the Ventana Research 2007 Performance Management Leadership Awards program. The program recognizes organizations that have demonstrated leadership in orchestrating people, processes, information and technology for optimal business impact.
RBC Financial Group was named the Finance Performance Leadership Award winner, using a Teradata Warehouse® in its successful initiative to build an extensible, scalable BASEL II compliance solution. RBC augmented a series of key data management strategies consistent with BASEL II requirements, ensuring effective management of BASEL II data throughout its lifecycle, from architecture to capture. These strategies — which include data quality, data integration, data architecture and metadata management — ensure compliance while keeping costs to a minimum.
Among other business benefits, this solution allowed RBC to avoid millions of dollars in standards and data management process costs and will improve the bank's management of risk and regulatory capital reserves. RBC has been a Teradata solutions customer for more than a decade and has leveraged Teradata solutions to become a globally recognized leader in the enterprise data warehousing and data management space.
NCR Corporation, recognized as a finalist in the Ventana Research category Operational Performance Leadership, uses a Teradata Warehouse for operational and financial management.
