DALLAS, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PARTNERS User Group Conference -- Teradata Corp. (NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data platforms, applications and services company, today announced it has broadened its offerings for delivering data-driven marketing globally via the cloud through its category-leading Integrated Marketing Management (IMM) suite.

The enhanced offering integrates Teradata Applications' cloud-based solutions for Marketing Operations, Campaign Management and Digital Messaging enabling marketers to:
- collect and analyze data-driven insights more quickly;
- manage campaigns and spend;
- design customer interactions centrally, whether digital, in-store or in a call center;
- continuously engage with customers in consistent, personalized ways; and,
- save time, money and valuable IT and Marketing resources.
Teradata's cloud-based IMM solution gives marketers the powerful ability to bring together data from across their organization and take immediate action on those insights. Whether hosted onsite or through Teradata's secure, private cloud, Teradata's IMM solution reveals the valuable insights available in customer data so marketers can take action on them on a global scale.
What is Data-Driven Marketing?
Data-driven marketing is the process of collecting and connecting large amounts of online data with traditional offline data, rapidly analyzing it, and gaining cross-channel insights about customers. The ability to bring that insight to market quickly via highly personalized marketing campaigns means a more tailored interaction with the customer at their point of need. According to a recent global survey conducted by Teradata, demand for such capabilities is high, yet enterprise preparedness to execute on data-driven marketing strategies remains low. Specifically, 71 percent of marketers told Teradata they plan to implement a big data analytics solution for data-driven marketing in the next two years. However, just 18 percent said they currently have a single, integrated view of customer actions, making this foundational step a top priority for future improvement.
Teradata's findings are echoed in Gartner Inc.'s Data-Driven Marketing Survey 2013, which states: "A typical analytics tool inventory includes multiple cloud-based tools for Web, social, search engine marketing, advertising and email marketing. Analytics service providers, such as data aggregators, add to the mix. Only a small fraction of organizations have stepped up to the challenge of integrating the analytics processes and tools to get the big picture." (Gartner Inc., Data-Driven Marketing Survey, 2013. April 9, 2013. ID: G00251531)
By using Teradata Applications' cloud-based IMM solutions and services companies can overcome big data chaos to achieve the critical "single view" of their customer, and use the insights the data reveals to build brand and drive sales by providing more relevant, consistent and personalized customer experiences through online or offline campaigns.

The cornerstone of Teradata's offering is Teradata Applications' industry-leading IMM portfolio.

Companies using Teradata Applications' data-driven marketing solutions are able to focus more on their business, and less on any IT-related work.

Cloud customers also benefit from reduced IT spend, accelerated time-to-value, state-of-the-art infrastructure and secure and reliable data access with outstanding performance.
