Our Company

Teradata transforms how businesses work and people live through the power of data. Teradata leverages all of the data, all of the time, so customers can analyze anything, deploy anywhere, and deliver analytics that matter most to them.

The Teradata culture isn’t just about one kind of person.  So many individuals make up who we are, making us that much more unique.  It’s what sets apart the dynamic, diverse and collaborative environment that is Teradata.  But even as individuals, there’s one thing that we all share —our united goal of making Teradata and our people, the best we can be.

Our Team
