Teradata Gains Altitude in Airline Industry

    Business Editors

    DUSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2005--Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), today announced that German airline Lufthansa will increase the capacity of its enterprise data warehouse, from 14 terabytes to over 21 terabytes, in an effort to expand its information infrastructure, increase its analytical capability and lower operating costs.
    Lufthansa's primary objective was an expanded platform with the scalability needed to support the vast amounts of information it collects from the airline's various divisions. The expansion of the Teradata(R) Warehouse will enable the company to continue using its signature CORONA platform for all analyses and decision-support applications company-wide - including regular customer data, feedback evaluations and flight movement data from reservations, check-in and the Miles & More frequent flyer program - without losing performance.
    "This expansion will enable Lufthansa to meet its current scalability requirements while at the same time supporting future growth," said Christian Rodatus, Teradata vice president for Central Europe.
    Because the Teradata Warehouse is highly scalable, Lufthansa will realize significant cost advantages through savings in software, hardware and personnel that would otherwise be associated with a data migration. Teradata will also provide professional services as part of the expansion, including service and support of applications and interfaces.
