Come visit us at TD universe, you will see why we are so great. And how we are going towards north star.
you will see the best technology, over 10K people attending from around the world. Looking for great networking and meeting new and old customers. GO TD. RIP snow and other flakes databases.
We are going to grow in cloud and on premises and hybrid technology. We are #1 end to end solution.
If you must say so yourself. But who, outside of Teradata would, agree? A little less self-adulation please. Wht do objective observers have to say? Perhaps the most objective guage is the stock price trend. Apparently, the market vehemently disagress with your self-assessment.
If I were buying for my company, would I risk recommending Teradata? Simple question that spells problems for TD.
Keep telling yourselves that.
TD is cool . Because they are making their customer fool. No one is going to universe.
I guess that some people will be playing ‘Spot the customers’ in the audience...
Maybe better to get a copy of the CCTV footage from the happy hour drinks across the road later this evening.
You give MK way too much credit. He was little but a figure head the last few years. There were others that were much more involved in bad Acquisitions that ended up being 1B write offs (and BTW, board approves). Either way, it’s been over three years since MK and team were released. Millions spent on Bain to build new strategy gone, etc. Time to look at current leadership.
Almost 4 years since T.A.P. and One Teradata were announced and looked at the thing now what a disgrace. You can’t blame Koehler and the NCR crew for that. This is Board issue and the current LT.
when on top everyone wants a piece of you. Snow, exa, netteza, hadoop and many more came and more will come. But king will always be king. TD has been #1 and will #1 rdbms for analytics. silly saying but true "you mess with the best, you die like rest".. :)
Somebodies lying cause the new marketing strategy is going against traditional schemes in revenue revenue revenue and just focusing on the “metadata” customer of which are already established and invested in other platforms. Smoke and mirror just use basic logic to understand That TD is no longer great and declining rapidly
About 1000 customers + "who knows how many" Teradata employees DOES NOT equal 10000 as claimed in a previous post. Even if the ratio of Teradata-to-customers is 2:1 that's still a paltry number. Face facts, it's a declining audience. Before all the product missteps, inept management, and bad marketing ... the conference was THE place to be.
30% attendance reduction. Nothing to see here.
There you are with another snow flake reference...... your branding around them as the database you don’t want. Instead you should be focusing on yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others. You all s— at marketing.
ICBC uses tencent’s cloud tech,
JPMorgan uses a proprietary solution and a host of Oracle, MSSQL, and nosql solutions in their multi-cloud environment.
In 2017, BofA closed three datacenters. They also run on a custom central stack, but are moving quickly into the cloud.
Wells Fargo uses Oracle Exadata.
Maersk has a “cloud first” strategy, and they are heavily into Azure.
Look at the TD Universe sponsor logos on the TD HP. Very light indeed. Unless he has been neglecting posting the them ALL, this IS the story of Martyn's TD brand stewardship.
The dead cat bounce - (stock over $30) - lasted a day or so.
The non-earnings report on 11/7/2019 should be interesting.
what are you talking about banks leaving their datacenter. We are one of the biggest bank, and our Hadoop project was a curse from the start. Biggest mistake our CTO make and went no where. Invested back into TD. Time series, seriously where are you using that....
Even health care system are not leaving datacenter.
Anything on-prem is now niche of a niche. The standard now is either document stores like Dynamo, or hypercube backed data lakes that just live “on-top-of” your raw data filed in cloud storage.
Even banks are leaving their datacenters.
Teradata can’t even handle time series data efficiently to keep up with kinesis, Kafka, or the other event bus style event streamers (which _automatically_ do basic anomaly detection out of the box)
see you at the universe. talk is cheap. Let's see what new shiny toys TD is coming out with. All I know TD still has incredible software and HW. We have tried multiple POC with different companies so far no one has more functionalities than TD. Now you cannot blame TD for bureaucracy customers has created. Like hiring non RDBMS folks or folks with no etl experience or Data scientists only thinking in a small box. any-who.. TD is a great company, and I am hoping it will survive the BS.
Pros and cons I guess.
The fact that some of these employees are counter posting here seems to have temporarily prevented the gratuitous posting of dog and cake pictures, as well as the fancy dress desks.
Mind you, Halloween is just around the corner and the only thing that trumps adults dressing up is adult coloring books and bringing your ‘rents in for some work on the corporate strategy.
The last help TD brought in ~4 years ago was Bain. Now there is new help to help TD get it right? How much help does it take to help a "lost our way" database company get back on track? And does that DB company have enough time and money to get there? Help doesn't come cheap.
How many people can TD afford pay to write happy things on GlassDoor and here? Is this the wisest investment of limited resources? Actions speak louder than words and most of us will believe the Q3 results over anything that TD management might say or write. Show us the positive financial results.
We all know they any good sh– that is said in here is from and directed from someone from the top down because they know they are in deep deep sh–. And the fact that I saw a positive post from probably a TD employee about snowflake make this site that milieu better. There’s more people against this company that’s for it and just remember that. I know a lot of people in TD still and they all want to leave bad.
I do not know anyone in marketing and they don’t know me. I do read the posts and I’m a s—er for a happy ending. Trying to infuse something positive. I’ll bet running the company is not easy. No shame in hiring smart proven leaders from outside to assist. Aren’t you encouraged they took that step?
Why do they continue to get more help and more layers? It makes it look like VL, OR, MC, and others were not the correct people to run the company. I thought these guys knew what they were doing, guess not.
Wow. Sounds like the marketing department has enlisted all the kiddies on Kool Aid to start posting here....
No company is perfect. Its been great fun, and a wild ride, and I believe the best is yet to come. The kinks will eventually be fixed - I think that is why they brought in some help recently. Looking forward to positive outcomes for all and totally psyched about Universe!!! BTOBS
@11sJMPJ3-1ump Are you upset that you are not going to the universe? And you are going to be stuck in your fantasy database, which even in your fantasy cannot run more than 3 queries concurrently.
It's OK that you were let go from TD for some reason or you left the winning company. Proof it we are not better than you. Come to universe and let us you show you what you have been missing.
A fantasy is a pleasant situation or event that you think about and that you want to happen, especially one that is unlikely to happen.
exactly my point, stop denying it's a great company and it's doing great thing and TD will continue to do great things in analytics market.
BRING YOUR FOCUS TO DENVER: October 20-24, 2019
Denial is a coping mechanism that gives you time to adjust to distressing situations — but staying in denial can interfere with treatment or your ability to tackle challenges. If you're in denial, you're trying to protect yourself by refusing to accept the truth about something that's happening in your life.
Stock price is crashing for most of tech companies..and.. Just think of positive things No one does analytics like TD. TD is still number company to do analytics. Get with the program and get your number checked it's 10K customers not 300 or 600. It's 10K+ customers attending. Look at the customer list from banks to retail to healthcare, all using TD to do analytics. Company has survived tough times and it's just going through some changes and it will spin around. We are announcing some of the best upcoming features. If you think you can make it to Universe it will great for you to learn facts on company... rather than sitting like a delusional person and assuming everything.
380 customer attendees to date
I heard maybe 600 customers. How do you get to 10,000? Are they giving free passes to Denver homeless?
Stock price crashing, revenues declining for last several years, constant leadership changes, massive layoffs globally and no new customers..... yep sounds like a world class organisation. What planet are you on?
SuperExcited....
Delusional
