Teradata and ViPS Enter into Master Partner Agreement as Health Care Industry Use of Centralized Data Warehousing Grows - 03/14/2008
Teradata analytics partnerships and capabilities continue to expand
MIAMISBURG, OhioTeradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the global leader in enterprise data warehousing, announced today that Teradata Government Systems LLC has entered into an agreement with ViPS®, Inc., a subsidiary of HLTH Corporation, under which ViPS will have the right to integrate its products with the Teradata Warehouse and be able to access technical support from Teradata. This partnership allows both companies to jointly focus on delivering greater scalability and more streamlined data management to their customers.

"Our partnership with ViPS adds a health care IT market leader to our already impressive roster of health care analytics companies that recognize Teradata's position in this important sector," said Bill Cooper, vice president, Teradata Government Systems Group. "With centralized data and powerful analytic software, governmental and commercial health care payers have faster and more complete visibility to all relevant detailed intelligence for making prudent strategic and tactical business decisions."

Teradata's momentum in the health care business continues to expand and now includes such organizations as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, WellPoint, Highmark, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Kaiser Permanente, WebMD and top pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors.

A report is available on the Teradata web site which profiles the use of data warehousing in the government health care business — released by Winter Corporation, and it cites dramatic results and case studies from a number of high-profile health care organizations, including two large government agencies at the federal and state levels. This report underscores the powerful impact of enterprise data warehousing in raising the collective intelligence and performance of data management people and systems in organizations that exist to improve health care services.

The ViPS web site describes in detail its focus on "providing health care data management solutions and related services to governmental, Blue Cross Blue Shield and commercial health care payers. ViPS' solutions and services help its clients improve patient outcomes, increase customer satisfaction and reduce costs."
