Teradata Vantage experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Teradata Vantage as our enterprise data warehouse platform. We ingest data from internal systems (i.e. EHR, HR, GL) and external vendors (i.e. benchmarking, claims, reference data) in order to provide insights for patient care, finance and labor forecasting, operational reporting, and many other use cases throughout the organization. Teradata provides us with the ability to quickly ingest large volumes of this data and make it available to our business intelligence and advanced analytics applications.
Pros
- Fast data ingestion
- Integration with cloud storage and open table formats
- Massive parallel processing queries
Cons
- More self-service system configuration capabilities
- Improved support communication status details and update frequency
- Incorporate additional details from support articles into product documentation
Return on Investment
- Our data loads compared to our previous non-MPP database platform are ten time faster.
- Analytical queries over large volumes of data run significantly faster allowing business users to receive the reports they need hours or even a day or two sooner than they used to.
- The performance advantages have allowed us to expand the amount of data we can provide opening up opportunities for more departments to take advantage of our analytic capabilities.
