The use cases vary based on the projects. In most projects, I worked with ETL tools like Informatica alongside Teradata. However, there was a specific project where we built a real-time data warehouse for active directory data using Teradata. Oracle was the source system, with potential additional sources feeding into the Oracle database. We used Unix scripting to extract data from Oracle and leverage a colleague's expertise in Unix for the Teradata portion. We wrote ETL queries and performed data profiling before loading the data into the target data warehouse for further processing by other tools. Our task was to create a data warehouse, an active data warehouse in Teradata.
We use Teradata for our organization's data warehouse, where we store data from all enterprise sources. With Teradata's efficient processing, we generate business intelligence reports and support analytics initiatives. Our teams connect to Teradata for valuable insights, enabling data-driven decision-making across departments. The platform's analytics capabilities enhance our understanding of enterprise data for strategic planning and optimization.

I am a Teradata administrator as well as a developer. I have about 700 users who are using our system, and we are maintaining the system in terms of tuning and in terms of all end-to-end items above the Teradata system. We are using it as a data warehouse. In the data warehouse, we have got so many users who are doing their reporting and different types of analytics work using the solution.

Teradata is primarily for data warehousing at large customers, like banks, retailers, and government organizations. However, we don't use Teradata for Russian government organizations because it's a US tool, and the Russian government doesn't allow foreign software.
We resell Teradata, but not in the cloud. Currently, our experience with Teradata in the cloud is theoretical as we haven't started selling it to our customers yet; however, a few of our customers are interested in migrating to a cloud-based solution. Our clients use Teradata to consolidate corporate data to provide reports. These reports are required every day — it's more like described analytics.
Our primary use case for this solution is the Transparency Portal of the Brazilian Government. Teradata provides the database infrastructure for this analytical site that is able to create an online BI experience that provides details on how the Brazilian government spends public money.
