Randy Pulley and Paul Davies are two of the more than 1,800 Teradata Professional Services consultants who help clients get the most from their investment in the industry's best data warehousing technology.

As more companies realize the competitive advantage of active data warehousing, Performance Management and Capacity Planning Services are in high demand. Pulley and Davies, the main designers of the performance database at the core of this service, use Teradata's holistic approach to optimizing data warehouse performance. A suite of five closely integrated but distinct performance and capacity services enable Teradata consultants to custom tailor recommendations and solutions unique to each client's industry and specific requirements.

According to Donna Becker, Teradata's Performance and Capacity Center of Excellence director, "solution teams" like Pulley and Davies listen to clients' business needs, then translate those needs into solutions, working both with the client and with other environments, platforms and vendors to produce optimal performance. She believes that many clients don't realize the full capabilities of their data warehouse until a professional services engagement shows them how to maximize the performance and value of their Teradata technology.

The inherent flexibility and scalability of the Teradata warehouse technology also allow Pulley, Davies and their colleagues to design solutions that easily enable future growth, further leveraging the clients' investment in the technology and consulting services. For example, Pulley created a prototype performance database for a large hospital management firm that the client continues to use three years later. Many solutions provide similar long-term benefits and returns for clients.
