Commonly consulted by executives, Gartner provides an annual update of the Data Warehouse DBMS Magic Quadrant, which evaluates vendors based on the ability to execute and the completeness of vision. According to Gartner, vendors who are positioned in the leader quadrant are performing well today, have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
"Teradata has a tireless commitment to help businesses be more profitable by implementing and leveraging a data warehouse," said Vickie Farrell, vice president of Teradata warehouse marketing. "We see a significant number of executives turning to Teradata enterprise-wide data warehouses to improve operational efficiency and drive business growth. A data warehouse is an investment -- one that should make money, not cost a company money."
Subtle shifts have taken place in the data warehouse market. To get additional information on the market shifts, a copy of the Gartner Data Warehouse DBMS Magic Quadrant Update is available at http://www.gartner.com/gc/webletter/ncr/article2/article2.html.

Gartner's permission to print or reference its Magic Quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartner's opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner-defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is based on the complex interplay of many factors. Gartner does not advise enterprises to select only those firms in the Leaders segment. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a Magic Quadrant.
