EAU CLAIRE, Wis., August 24, 2005 -- Menards, one of the largest home improvement retailers in North America and the largest private retailer in the United States, has selected a series of technology solutions from Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR). Menards has deployed a Teradata® Data Warehouse, Teradata Retail Decisions software and the Teradata Retail Logical Date Model. Menards previously used a series of data marts that could not provide the information business users were demanding and often supplied inaccurate or out-of-date information. With merchandising as their primary focus, business users wanted detailed store-level information to quickly determine the success of marketing activities.

"By providing our buyers and merchandisers with better data faster, we can proactively adjust our marketing programs to best suit the shopper. We selected Teradata's solutions after a thorough evaluation because they will help us meet our goals of consolidating data to provide a single version of the truth, and because of their powerful business intelligence applications," said Charlie Menard, chief operating officer at Menards.

Among the other attributes Menards cited in choosing the new system are the rapid installation time other retailers have experienced with Teradata and the scalability of the technology.

"Menards wants to conduct analysis on retail marketing activities and base its decisions on the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Teradata will deliver that and more," said Rob Berman, Teradata vice president of retail industry solutions.
