Teradata launching new IoT analytics group

Analytics and marketing firm Teradata has revealed plans to build a global Internet of Things (IoT) analytics unit, based in India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

The unit will be responsible for researching and producing innovative ways to analyse an IoT system, building on the company’s current service lineup of analytic functions to make systems more efficient, less likely to fail, and cheaper for the end customer.

Teradata says it will hire data scientists, engineers, and software designers for its “special-ops” team to build and progress its IoT analytics platform. The team will be focused on data movement, database management, cloud-based analytic solutions, and simplification of advanced analytics systems.

“The smartest people at Teradata are laser focused on building the best technologies to power the Analytics of Things,” said president of Teradata Labs, Oliver Ratzesberger. “With this announcement, we are making it easier for our customers to move sensor data around, optimize data management systems to deal with the massive volumes of data, and run real-time, advanced analytics against streams of IoT data.”
