"An alliance between these two market leaders can help ensure the two companies work even more seamlessly in the future, making it easier to leverage the proven power and capabilities of each solution. This is especially important for us because of our future real-time, very-high-volume requirements."

"Informatica and Teradata have been marketing allies for a number of years, so we are happy to extend the relationship," said Mark Hurd, president and chief operating officer of NCR. "This effort brings new and better-integrated tools to Teradata customers and allows Teradata to address a broader set of opportunities. Bottom line, this will enable Teradata to continue its legacy of innovative approaches for solving customer business problems across numerous targeted industries, extend Teradata's lead in the data warehouse market and drive increased revenues and profitability."

"Teradata is the leader in enterprise data warehousing, with recognized strength in CRM analytics and in vertical industries such as retail, telecommunications and financial services," said Gaurav Dhillon, president and chief executive officer of Informatica.
