"Thirteen of the top 20 global telecom operators and more than 100 carriers worldwide depend on Teradata's enterprise data warehouse to enhance their competitive edge, demonstrating the success of our industry-specific solution," said Cliff Wu, vice president and general manager for Teradata in the Greater China Area.

We are delighted to work with China Mobile to develop its enterprise data warehouse. With our expertise and in-depth knowledge in the industry, we hope to provide strong infrastructure support for China Mobile."
