Supporting companies to rapidly adopt artificial intelligence

Teradata announced that ThinkBig Analytics Consulting Group has joined the NVIDIA Service Delivery Partner Program. The ThinkBig Analytics program supports customers in more effectively scaling their AI strategies by collaborating with NVIDIA to optimize enterprise deep learning and coordinate entry-to-market strategies.

NVIDIA is a leader in the field of AI computing technology and a graphics semiconductor chip manufacturer listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. NVIDIA GPUs are used in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and accelerated analytics applications.

According to a 2017 survey conducted by Teradata in collaboration with global market research firm Vanson Bourne on 260 global enterprises, the biggest obstacle to implementing AI in enterprise environments was the lack of specialized AI IT infrastructure and skilled personnel. This partnership is significant in that it enables two service organizations, equipped with extensive AI experience and computing platforms, to work together to solve this problem.

Teradata has partnered closely with NVIDIA to provide solutions that drive exceptional business performance in fields such as banking, insurance, automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, retail, media, entertainment, travel, and transportation, with a focus on data and analytics. Based on its extensive practical experience implementing deep learning through AI Velocity Services, Teradata was able to join this program, which is selected through a thorough review.

“This partnership is intended to formalize the use of NVIDIA-based technology, enabling talented data scientists and engineers seamless access to NVIDIA’s expertise and IP, and to create a positive feedback loop that drives product innovation for both companies,” explained Atif Kureishi, Vice President at ThinkBig Analytics.

Teradata consultants support customers in successfully utilizing AI solutions based on the NVIDIA AI computing platform through NVIDIA’s training materials, support resources, and technical tools. This enables banking customers to enhance customer intimacy while simultaneously addressing the rise in fraudulent activities. Manufacturers using AI can detect and coordinate intelligent systems in minutes rather than months, increasing productivity and reducing material waste. In these industries and other sectors, the combination of NVIDIA AI computing and Teradata services accelerates the time to value for implementing deep learning and AI environments.

Craig Weinstein, Vice President and Head of NVIDIA’s Partner Organization, said, “Teradata offers effective ways to drive business outcomes through AI, accelerate AI environments with GPUs, and obtain measurable results through deep learning and advanced analytics. We recommend that companies collaborate with consulting partners like Teradata.”
