BNP Paribas, a multi-brand financial services group with a presence in 85 countries and 18 million customers worldwide, uses a Teradata Warehouse for marketing programs. "These new tools enable us to contact our customers at the right time, to propose them the right product," said Philippe Laulanie, head of the BNP Paribas Multi-Channel Development Department. "Our CRM project, built on the foundation of the Teradata platform, has increased customer satisfaction significantly." BNP's data warehouse gives business decision-makers quick access to detailed data, refreshed daily, for analytical insight leading to more compelling value propositions and highly effective multi-channel, multi-step customer communications. BNP reports that its marketing program required an enterprise-class data warehouse, updated daily, to integrate customer communication across channels including ATM, branches, call centers, Internet and direct mail. The selection of the Teradata-based solution has resulted in successful management of complex data flowing through the business, involving multiple applications and workstations. The BNP marketing solution has been designed to place a high priority on customers' personal preferences, using advanced contact frequency and prioritization tools to ensure that customer contact is focused on the most appropriate time and channel. Customer satisfaction metrics are also integrated into communications for continuous feedback. "We are convinced that future initiatives will extend BNP Paribas' positive business results," says Hermann Wimmer, vice president of Teradata in Europe, Middle East and Africa. "The development and evolution of marketing programs and tools at BNP illustrate the superior integration of the Teradata solution with existing applications for the implementation of a powerful and efficient platform." Customer management teams have reported that the modeling, targeting and CRM platform as well as the event-based lead management tools are easy to use. The Teradata Warehouse supports customer segmentation models, targeted business campaigns, score models for financial products and many other forms of customer analysis useful in generating relevant and compelling customer value propositions. On Sept. 19, 2005, Teradata introduced Teradata Relationship Manager, its next-generation solution portfolio for customer relationship management. The new solution is a browser-based application suite that builds upon the success of and will supersede Teradata CRM in December 2005.
