Teradata, a provider of enterprise data warehousing and a division of NCR Corporation, is all set to open its second Global Consulting Center (GCC) in India.  The new GCC will be located in Pune and will be a critical component of the planned growth of its Global Professional Services Consulting.  

 

“We are experiencing substantial growth in Teradata’s Global Professional Services consulting, the world’s leading data warehouse consultancy,” said David Klumb, vice president of Teradata Global Professional Services in a statement to the press.  “The consulting center team in Pune follows the successful model of our center in Mumbai.  It will be an extension of Teradata Professional Services.  We expect continuing growth for both centers in India.”

 

The center’s staff will handle data warehousing and business intelligence software, and will offer superior expertise in end-to-end enterprise data warehouse and business intelligence implementation.  The new center in Pune, after the center in Mumbai, will serve customers throughout the Americas and parts of the Asia-Pacific region.  The centers in India complement other consulting centers opened in the past few years in China.

 

“We selected Pune because of its solid information technology infrastructure, its state-of-the-art facilities and its high-quality engineering schools with some 20,000 graduates each year,” also commented Klumb.  “We are currently seeking highly qualified data warehousing and business intelligence professionals to staff our new center in Pune.  They will join Teradata GCC employees who have real-world experience in data warehousing projects in more than 15 countries.”

 

Teradata’s Pune center is the result of emerging trends in the global marketplace.  In today’s competitive environment, data warehousing and business intelligence are regarded as mission critical to organizational success, often as a primary basis for competition. 

 

Klumb also commented in a statement, "A large number of organizations across the world have come to regard data warehousing as the heart of their core infrastructure and a key enabler to empower businesses in their day-to-day decision-making processes. Our customers leverage their Teradata data warehouses to help them make better, faster decisions to drive growth and profitability.”
