Overview
ATLANTA — Teradata University Network, sponsored by Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), today announced the Teradata Case Competition to encourage and financially support the development of case studies illustrating the successful practice of business intelligence and data warehousing by Teradata customers. More than $50,000 will be awarded in study grants and prizes to professors submitting winning entries. The deadline for case study proposals is May 1.
“We’re doing this to provide professors and faculty an opportunity for funded research, recognition, and publication. The companies that they profile will be further recognized for their leadership in business intelligence and data warehousing,” said Hugh Watson, competition coordinator and professor of MIS in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.
The Teradata Case Competition includes two stages, each juried by leading academics and Teradata managers and professionals. The first step is the submission of proposals. The second step is the submission of fully completed case studies. Proposals should focus on the customer’s need for changes, the impact the changes had and the return on investment, as well as summarize the role of the Teradata technology or Teradata professional services in enabling or supporting the work. The company work can be enterprise-wide or departmental but must illustrate best practices and have demonstrable high impact.
Accepted proposals will be announced on June 1 and will receive $10,000 in funding from Teradata. “Each case development grant will help fund the research into the best practices within a specific Teradata customer company,” explained Teradata University Network Director Susan Baxley. “We know that through this effort we will help academics discover the best practices of very successful companies and we suspect that some of those companies will be surprised to learn just how good they are in their use of business intelligence.”
Prize Awarded
Accepted complete case submissions will then be judged and prize winners will be announced November 15. The first place prize is $10,000. All completed case studies will be made available to the academic community to support instruction and research and will also be used by Teradata to illustrate best practices and the value of business intelligence and data warehousing.
Are you interested in a summer project that is compensated and results in recognition and publication? If so, you may be interested in the Teradata Case Competition. Its purpose is to support the development of case studies that illustrate the successful practice of BI and data warehousing by Teradata’s customers. The researcher(s) is expected to have an existing relationship with the Teradata customer used for the case study. Completed cases will be made available to the academic community to support instruction and research and will also be used by Teradata to illustrate best practices and the value of BI and data warehousing.
