In recent testing performed on Teradata Warehouse 7.1 software, the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform(TM) worked out-of-the-box, ensuring that customers can run MicroStrategy with Teradata Warehouse 7.1 without making any changes to their analytic applications. New capabilities in the Teradata database provide customers with the ability to store and retrieve large objects, and a User Defined Function (UDF) library that provides programming shortcuts used to customize database functions saving businesses time and money. "We continually improve our database products in order to help our customers meet the challenges posed by today's competitive environment. It is critical that an industry leader like MicroStrategy supports our latest release," said Vickie Farrell, Vice President of Teradata Warehouse Marketing. "MicroStrategy's proven analytical capabilities, scalability and performance enhancing techniques make its platform ideal for organizations running their business-critical applications on Teradata Warehouse 7.1." "MicroStrategy has long been an active Teradata supporter and participant in Teradata's beta tests for several years and is pleased to support Teradata's latest release," said MicroStrategy's COO Sanju K. Bansal. "Teradata and MicroStrategy have a history of expertise that ensures the success and satisfaction of our customers. We look forward to continuing this relationship."
