Never a respectable business school will ever teach TD wreckage. It’s definitely not the kind of fascinating, inspiring, deep-rooted lesson that students expect. Such an obvious failure from weak-minded leadership, outdated strategy and bold... — read more 

Tech sales in International and the Americas will be reduced by 18% within the next 2 weeks Can anybody confirm this?

The numbers say all you need to know. Our ex-part-time contractor, so called Chief Technical Officer SB called Snowflake a "toy" and said the cloud would never work for enterprise data warehousing. And nobody else on the ELT had enough market... — read more 

"Drive faster, easier, and cost-effective AI innovation with Teradata AI Unlimited" I think they need to add a few more adjectives to make this even more sprawling on our landing page. Like a bad, wordy PowerPoint that nobody reads.

Visionary tech leaders like PN built an innovative scalable MPP data warehouse that was differentiated for many years. Sadly, vision-less NCR sales guys took over (MH, then MK) + a legacy-minded, part-time CTO (SB) stalled innovation. TDC totally... — read more

Teradata somehow convinced Gartner the last three years to keep them in the leaders quadrant. Gartner could not keep doing this and retain any credibility. TDC kept announcing “we are a leader” even though they were in 8th or 9th place. Now they... — read more

Teradata slipped all the way out. What a shame. The decline has been evident for many years. At least they finally fired the out of touch CTO. The rest of the ELT should be fired too. Sadly it’s too late to get this legacy train back on track. It... — read more
