China Construction Bank selected Teradata
             to enhance management efficiency and competitiveness

    DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 3  -- China Construction Bank has selected Teradata, 
a division of NCR Corporation, to build the first enterprise data warehouse 
in China's banking history.
    The bank is hoping to accelerate the modernization of China's banking
industry and raise competitiveness by adopting Teradata's leading enterprise
data warehousing technology.
    The first phase of the project will centralize all the bank's data across
business functions and branches.  The system also relies on the Teradata(R)
data warehouse to develop related applications such as customer relationship
management and Teradata Value Analyzer to analyze customer profitability.
    China Construction Bank selected Teradata after testing and evaluating
several multinational vendors at the initial planning stage.  Teradata
enterprise data warehousing solutions were found to provide unparalleled
analytical power and high scalability of massively parallel-processing
servers.  Teradata was also chosen for its extensive experience in the
financial services sector and the customization of Teradata's solutions for
the China market.
    "Teradata enterprise data warehousing solutions have been selected by
25 of the world's top 100 banks," said Cliff Wu, vice president and managing
director of Teradata, Greater China. "Teradata's expertise in the global
banking industry will offer the strongest support to the modernization of
China Construction Bank's infrastructure."
    According to Randy Wang, general manager of NCR Teradata China, "China's
entry into the World Trade Organization will bring significant challenges to
China's financial industry. Many leading banks have planned to build their own
management information systems, and China Construction Bank will be a model
for them to follow.  Teradata will offer the world's best data warehousing
experts to ensure that this project is implemented smoothly."
    The China Construction Bank project is the third terabyte-class enterprise
data warehousing project that Teradata is implementing in mainland China,
which further indicates Teradata's bright future in developing the data
warehouse market.  Teradata has also helped Shanghai Securities Central
Clearance and Registration Company and TravelSky Technology Limited in China.
