themselves with declining adoption

rates on new products.

Data and analytics are key to

overcoming these challenges—and

are the foundation for building the

industry-leading factories of the

future. Only by deploying the right

technologies for deeper insight

into a growing mass of data can

high-tech organizations achieve

the resiliency, productivity, and

innovation necessary to meet the

evolving demands of the market.

In the following pages, we review

the major components that must

be in place for manufacturers

to maintain a competitive

advantage well into the future.

In particular, we discuss how the

combination of Teradata® Unified

Data Architecture™ (UDA) and

TIBCO Spotfire® delivers a full-

stack solution—including data

warehousing, analytics, and

business intelligence (BI)—so that

manufacturers can operationalize

analytics for greater agility across

the enterprise.

Big Data Challenges

Products and manufacturing

capabilities continue to grow in

complexity. As product complexity

increases, multi-disciplinary

decision-making will become

even more important, not only to

improve time-to-market, but to

manage and mitigate risk.

With the dawn of these new

“Smart” products and

manufacturing equipment,

companies are generating and

collecting a larger volume of

data in ever widening variety

and at ever-accelerating speeds.

These smart products are major

components of the Internet of

Things and are now pervasive

across all industries bringing

the big data problem to all

manufacturers from software to

semiconductors to auto industrial

companies.

The proliferation of big data

may seem overwhelming—but

manufacturers have no choice but

to meet the challenges at hand.

With insufficient access to the

right data at the right time, global

supply chains are simply unable to

meet local fluctuations in demand.

Shrinking field service margins

discourage companies from

generating new offerings. And with

limited insight into the customer

experience, companies find

The Teradata Unified Data Architecture™ allows organi-

zations to capture, deploy, support, manage, and seam-lessly access all their data. Download to learn more.

A unified architecture can help.

Teradata provides high-tech

manufacturers with new analytic

capabilities to integrate dark data

with other information across the

supply chain, from the shop floor

to assets in the field. The result is

a digital thread that extends the

supply chain to the customer.

Using information from a wide

range of sources—including sensor,

telematic, clickstream, social media,

and machine log data—a fully

integrated solution from Teradata

can help analysts achieve deeper

visibility in the following areas:

Manufacturing See if equipment

becomes misaligned or begins

to malfunction long before

problems emerge that might cause

production delays.

Field services Contact customers

and offer servicing prior to failure

or malfunction.

Digital marketing Generate a

360-degree view of customer

activity with cross-digital insights

from sources such as product

sensors, Web site activity, and

customer purchases.

This full-stack, purpose-built solu-

tion scales analytics across any

user base, empowering engineers

to apply the appropriate architec-

ture to solve the problem at hand.

Integrated analytics libraries make

it easier to incorporate more data

from more places into every analy-

sis. And with TIBCO Spotfire, an

innovative business analytics and

data discovery platform designed

for in-database interoperability,

users can achieve major reductions

in analytic latency for accelerated

decision making.

Samples of TIBCO Spotfire Reports

Visibility into Dark Data

According to a recent study by Gartner, 38 percent of respondents cited “underutilized dark data” as the most immediate opportunity for transforming the business.

Achieve greater resiliency across the supply chain. Improve service margins. Make decisions faster. To understand how to achieve these and other benefits with help from the Teradata Unified Data Architecture,™ download our article “Shining the Light on Dark Data.”

From manufacturing

equipment to software

solutions to mobile devices,

these “smart” products are

producing new types of data.

Much of this data, however, remains

dark because it is excluded from

existing IT systems and processes.

How can manufacturers operationalize

and analyze even the darkest data

to identify patterns, enhance insights,

and improve decision making?

across the organization. That’s why

Teradata has teamed up with TIBCO

Software and its Spotfire visual

analytics platform to provide non-IT

users with a truly interactive data

discovery environment, uncovering

high-tech insights previously

masked by data silos, sampling,

or high-level data calculations.

Benefits include the following:

Single view of the business Arm

frontline employees with timely,

accurate business information.

Actionable insights in a self-

service environment Ask,

answer, anticipate, and act upon

relevant questions with minimal

dependence on IT staff.

Visibility into the unknown

Uncover trends, patterns, and

insights previously hidden in large

data silos.

Encapsulated expertise Master

complex business challenges by

aggregating and taking advantage

of the knowledge of database

administrators, analysts, and

decision makers.

Universal adaptability Move the

business forward with a single

enterprise data engine for back-

office analysis and frontline

decision making.

Real-time Event Analytics Helps

organizations identify and address

developing situations and trends by

correlating massive volumes of data

about discrete events and applying

predefined rules to identify

situations that require a response.

The combination of Teradata UDA and Spotfire solutions will create a unique opportunity for manufacturers to improve customer satisfaction with resilience and innovation in products and services. Read our solutions brief on the unique alliance between Spotfire and Teradata.

Analytics shouldn’t just be for data

scientists. In fact, today’s data-

intensive environments require

insight and input from stakeholders

across all areas of the business.

Rather than depend on siloed

data that can only be accessed

by a select few, manufacturing

organizations need even

nontechnical users, artists and data

consumers to leverage composite

data from multiple sources, to

enable insights by all.

Business visualization is the most

effective way to provide that level

of access and empowerment

Insight for All: Scientists, Artists, and Data Consumers

“Being able to work with Spotfire directly connected to billions of data records through Teradata will greatly improve our ability to manage the big data dilemma and to extend our ‘two-second advantage’ through real-time decisioning.”~ Becky Wanta, Senior Vice President and Global Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, MGM Resorts International
