Crystal Ball, Black Box or Advanced Forecasting and Demand Planning in Retail and CPG
Feed: Teradata Blog. Two years after the word “COVID” entered virtually every conversation in both our private and professional lives, it appears that at long last there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Women of Teradata: Hillary Ashton
Feed: Teradata Blog. Looking back on my career there are two factors that were major influences. First, my dad was a self-described “database guy” he worked at Epsilon Data Management, and I would delight in his stories of solving impossible customer problems with large IBM systems and how technology would save the day (or sometimes the systems crash).

I would go on to spend hours on dial-up boards and later the Internet. I ... Read More

The sparkle of vehicle telematics will dwindle in 2022 as consumers and regulators further realize that promised transparency has been perhaps a smoke screen.
