Vodafone New Zealand

By 2004, Vodafone New Zealand Ltd. had gained a 50% market share and uncontested leadership in New Zealand by simply offering better customer service. But as the mobile telco industry matured, the competition rallied, and increasing government regulation began to reduce revenue, Vodafone's customer base plateaued at 54% of the national market.

Up to 2004, Vodafone had been using a legacy Red Brick data warehouse that was unable to support the transactional analysis, research or modeling processes that they now needed, and which included numerous data marts and piecemeal solutions that had been developed as short-term fixes. The company recognized that tougher market conditions warranted faster decision making based on real-time knowledge of current conditions.

Vodafone replaced the legacy system with an enterprise data warehouse from Teradata in 2004, and today it is used by hundreds of employees for market research, competitive intelligence, analytics, segmentation and pricing to improve campaign and customer insight, customer offer optimization, campaign channel effectiveness and customer service. "We knew that gaining a single view of the business was essential to the success of our analytics programs," says John Stewart, Vodafone New Zealand's senior manager of customer analytics. "The best-in-class solution to our problem was an enterprise data warehouse from Teradata."
