Today, I am sharing a note with Teradata's team of 10,000+ people who are working around the world. While this kind of message is normally reserved for our employees, I felt compelled to share my appreciation for this team with our customers, partners and friends across the globe. This is a truly exciting time at Teradata, and our people are making it all happen. Please take a moment to read about what our world-class team has accomplished.
To all Teradata team members around the world,
Along with the introduction of the new Teradata, we invited each of you to join us as we undertook an ambitious new direction, strategy, and brand. We summed up the new Teradata in our brand promise of “Rise Above,” as we help our customers and each other rise up and exceed our goals.
And, Rise Above you did! From our inspiring global brand launch, to introducing our beautiful new San Diego headquarters and presenting Teradata Vantage to help our customers deliver answers that matter. All of this culminated this week at Teradata Analytics Universe, where our customers and partners joined us in setting the new standard for our industry through the powerful possibilities of Pervasive Data Intelligence. An incredible effort by an incredible team—you aimed high, did the hard work, and made it happen!
I also want to thank all of you for embracing our bold new purpose and working together to deliver on our mission to transform how businesses work and people live through the power of data, and living our core values that define and inspire us to do our best work every day.
This has been an amazing journey, and we are just getting started! I am very proud of our entire Teradata team, and thank you for all you do every day. I’m looking forward to continuing our fantastic momentum as we show the world the new Teradata.
