Will Result in the World's Most Comprehensive Health-Care Industry
     Logical Data Model Designed Specifically for Enterprise Data
                              Warehousing

DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2006--Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), has announced its acquisition of the American Information Management Group's TRIAD Data Modeling Suite. This expands Teradata's health-care industry commitment and, combined with the Teradata(R) Warehouse, analytical applications and data models, will extend its range of solutions for health-care organizations. Teradata is the world leader in enterprise intelligence and analytics.

The features of the TRIAD modeling suite, when coupled with the capabilities of Teradata's existing health-care Logical Data Model (LDM) and technology assets, will constitute the most comprehensive health-care industry LDM designed specifically for enterprise data warehouses (EDWs). An LDM serves as a blueprint for building an enterprise data structure that provides common business definitions for all entities, resulting in a single, integrated view across the health-care organization. It also documents business rules at the corporate level, supports consistent reporting and analytical results, and helps eliminate data redundancy.

"The health-care industry is on the verge of sweeping transformation, driven by intense pressure to improve the economics as well as the quality of health care. This begins with more complete visibility to all relevant detailed data needed to identify cost drivers while ensuring that all vital health-care data gets to the right professional at the right moment," said Darryl McDonald, vice president of Teradata Global Consulting Services.

Core initiatives, such as consumer-driven health care, electronic health records and Pay-for-Performance clearly underscore the industry-wide shift from being transaction-based to consumer-centric and increasingly require collective cross-organizational intelligence. "With this move, Teradata is building on its powerful data warehouse technology to facilitate transformation, providing the health-care industry's most comprehensive and dynamic data management solution," McDonald said.

Teradata health-care client companies have reported they welcome the introduction of the new LDM to support the expansion of their Teradata Warehouses, as well as a means to better manage their data and information resources across the enterprise, McDonald added.

"This is a prudent step forward for Teradata and good news for large and growing health-care companies interested in a comprehensive, enterprise-wide data model," said Steve Hoberman, founder of the Data Model Scorecard and an author and trainer in the field of data modeling. "Teradata's many years of proven expertise in LDM design and implementation are benefiting hundreds of organizations, including some of the world's largest health-care data repositories."

The TRIAD LDM is a comprehensive 3rd Normal Form (3NF) model specifically designed for health care - including payers, providers, and integrated delivery networks. Teradata health-care data modeling covers a broad spectrum, from claims to clinical information, and is designed to support industry data standards, including HL7 and ANSI ASC X12, while also supporting standardized reporting requirements such as HEDIS, JCAHO, and NUBC. The comprehensive Teradata health-care LDM will be available in the first quarter of 2007 and will address the modeling requirements of commercial, nonprofit and government health-care organizations.

Teradata currently offers a broad range of EDW-driven solutions for the health-care industry, including Finance and Performance Management, Event-Based Communication solutions for one-to-one relationship management, RFID Technology Adoption for the pharmaceutical industry, and a comprehensive services portfolio for peak EDW performance.

Companies deploying Teradata data warehouse LDMs report accelerated implementation time as well as significant cost savings and financial returns. Teradata has developed and delivered logical data models for all major industries including financial services, retail, communications, manufacturing, travel, transportation and health care - which are used by high-profile data warehouse client companies across the world.
