The Missouri Department of Treasury, Division of Taxation, announced that during the last 14 days of March 2007, the state recovered $2.2 million from non-compliant tax filers. The recovery was due to the state's taxation data warehouse with global enterprise data warehouse leader Teradata. Nearly $21 million has been recovered since the program began in early 2005.

Teradata Tax Solutions are based on the Teradata data warehouse in combination with professional services and programs. Teradata partnered with The Sartell Group on this project.

The retail BI data warehouse solution has been deployed to all 32 Haggen stores across the states of Washington and Oregon. The BI data warehouse is a joint offering from Manthan Systems and Teradata, developed exclusively for retailers, and comprises a retail-specific BI solution and a comprehensive retail data model deployed on an enterprise data warehouse.

The expansion, which includes new Teradata 5500 servers running robust Teradata software and new Teradata data warehouse support technology, enables Publix to more thoroughly understand its operations. By providing detailed historical and current information, associates can then optimize their business decisions.
