DAYTON, Ohio, Jul 31, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Joint Effort Will Enable Teradata to Provide Highly Scalable, Open Connectivity to Legacy Applications Using J2EE Architecture

Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), and Insevo Inc., a market-leading provider of J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) compliant application integration software, have announced an agreement allowing Teradata to serve as a worldwide reseller for Insevo's Business Integration Framework and application connectors.

This agreement enables Teradata to standardize the way it supports other solutions with its customer relationship management (CRM) software. Major corporations who use Teradata's enterprise data warehouse and CRM applications require the ability to transfer large volumes of mission-critical data into their CRM, ERP and legacy applications. Insevo was chosen by Teradata after extensive performance testing of Insevo's products, as well as those from other application integration software vendors, in a high-transaction-volume environment.

"When we choose a technology, it is of the utmost importance that it is capable of scaling to the level of both the Teradata(R) warehouse and our CRM application," said Peter Heffring, president of Teradata's CRM division. "We conducted strenuous benchmark testing and were very pleased with Insevo's demonstrated capabilities in those areas."

Insevo and the other vendors were required to demonstrate that they could transfer massive volumes of transaction data generated each business day from Teradata's enterprise data warehouse into a Siebel application, where it would be used for setting up targeted marketing campaigns. Insevo's pure Java, J2EE standards-based Business Integration Framework, running on BEA's WebLogic Server, was the clear choice for meeting Teradata's performance requirements.

"Teradata's benchmark results demonstrate the massive scalability of Insevo's JCA product," said David Richards, chief executive officer of Insevo. "With Insevo's enterprise-class Business Integration Framework and application connectors, our joint customers can integrate operational systems such as Siebel or SAP with Teradata's data warehousing and analytical CRM capabilities, and be secure in the knowledge that as their businesses grow, our solution will be able to scale and grow right along with them."

Teradata will sell and support the Insevo Business Integration Framework and application connectors worldwide beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002.
