Joint Solutions Between SAS and Teradata
SAS and Teradata formed a strategic partnership to provide customers with a unique and differentiated value proposition that exploits the best of both vendors' core strengths in data warehousing and analytical BI solutions. A roadmap for enhanced and deeper technical integration was built and a joint consulting team was developed to promote best practices and optimization of SAS and Teradata technologies.
The overall foundation of the partnership focuses on creating the ability to run and optimize key SAS analytic processes within the Teradata database engine — leveraging SAS analytical functions to utilize and exploit the core parallel processing inherent to the Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse architecture. The result is higher-performance run-times, lower TCO, reduced data movement and redundancy, and faster analytical model development and processing.
