DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2005--Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), has announced that Hallmark Cards, Inc., the industry leader in greeting cards, gifts, and a vast range of personal expression products and services, is growing the data capacity of its multi-terabyte enterprise data warehouse (EDW) to support hundreds of users who require detailed data to effectively serve more than 40 million consumers.

"Hallmark's partnership with Teradata began with the first of two departmental projects where Teradata helped Hallmark analyze detailed data to improve retail store sales performance," said Rob Berman, Teradata industry vice president. "The second project focused on analyzing customer data to more effectively target promotions to customers by using Teradata CRM. Now we are evolving our partnership by helping establish Hallmark's enterprise data warehouse."

Teradata's EDW brings together a company's data into a single integrated view, providing consistency and accuracy throughout a company's multiple views of its business and customer relationships. This includes information across a broad spectrum of business dimensions, including customer service, sales and marketing data. The Teradata EDW allows users to quickly analyze detailed cross-organizational information that helps them make optimal decisions that benefit a company's customers as well as the business.

The order includes the coexistence of NCR 5380 and 5400 servers designed for optimal speed, performance and scalability, as well as Teradata customer services.

On Sept. 19, 2005, Teradata introduced Teradata Relationship Manager, its next-generation solution portfolio for customer relationship management. The new solution is a browser-based application suite that builds upon the success of and will supersede Teradata CRM in December 2005.
