AMSTERDAM, Jan. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data platforms, applications and services company, announced today that Sligro Food Group, a leading European food retail and foodservice wholesaler, has selected a Teradata data warehouse for predictive analytics. The new powerhouse platform will help the food company achieve its new vision to better anticipate future client and market developments and further evolve from a supply-driven to a demand-driven operational model.  

With this investment in a strategic business intelligence (BI) platform, Sligro Food Group will interpret data from its various divisions and activities and make qualitative management information available faster.  The Teradata Data Warehouse appliance will allow Sligro to improve its supply of information, lift e-commerce services to a higher level and streamline the supply chain by better mapping clients' needs.

"In Teradata, we have found a partner who can provide us with the necessary credentials locally and within our sector. Deployment of the system was very efficient and very swift. After four months, the system was already up and running for end users."
