 The Partners User Group (referred to throughout as Partners) is an independent non-profit corporation incorporated in the state of Nebraska and sponsored by Teradata. It exists to optimize the business relationships between Teradata and its customers to the benefit of each. Partners is made up of thousands of Teradata customers active in data warehousing and its associated technologies and products. Its members come together annually to share their experiences, successes, and challenges at the Teradata PARTNERS User Group Conference & Expo. Partners is governed by a customer steering committee, which also acts as the Board of Directors of the non-profit corporation, as well as a number of sub-committees as designated by the Directors. The committees that exist under the Partners umbrella are the Product Advisory Council (PAC), the Analytical Applications Product Advisory Council (AAPAC), the Service Focus Team (SFT), and the Partners Steering Committee. The PAC represents the voice of the customer and works with Teradata to provide product feedback and suggestions. The AAPAC is similar to the PAC but focuses specifically on Teradata’s analytical products and solutions. The SFT helps ensure the relationship between the customers and Teradata remains a top priority and that the needs of the customer for services are well represented. Finally, the Partners Steering Committee is the overall coordinating arm of Partners, overseeing the other committees, and organizing and managing the annual user group conference. Steering Committee The Partners User Group is governed by a Steering Committee of customer representatives who provide leadership on behalf of Teradata Corporation customers. Product Advisory Council The Product Advisory Council (PAC) was formed to work closely with Teradata to gather customer requirements—both short-and long-term—and to focus on key product and service issues. The PAC also facilitates a comprehensive product and service enhancement request (ER) process which equitably represents the entire customer base. Submit a Product Enhancement Request Review a Product Enhancement Request Service Focus Team The Service Focus Team (SFT) works closely with Teradata on key issues regarding support services and other areas that fall beyond the scope of product enhancements. The SFT represents the concerns of Teradata customers and gathers feedback to make service improvements. Submit a Service Focus Statement Analytical Applications Product Advisory Council The Analytical Applications Product Advisory Council (AAPAC) provides advisory input for product development direction to Teradata analytical applications, including Teradata CRM, Demand Chain Management, Supply Chain Intelligence, and Teradata Warehouse Miner. The AAPAC consists of license holders and end-users who come together to provide insight into new business strategies, processes, and functionality with an eye towards adding business value to the analytical applications.  PARTNERS Conference The Teradata PARTNERS User Group Conference & Expo provides educational sessions to increase technology and product knowledge. Customers share real-life experiences while gaining insight from industry keynote presenters. The PARTNERS Conference provides an opportunity to network with colleagues and industry experts, and to examine and discuss the latest data warehousing trends and technologies. "PARTNERShip" Opportunities The Partners User Group offers a variety of opportunities for involvement and leadership within the data warehousing community. The customer committees are always seeking interested and qualified individuals wishing to contribute their time and knowledge to the future growth and success of data warehousing. While the committees may have the maximum number of individuals allowed at the time you submit your application, we will be glad to keep your application for a certain amount of time until there is an opening. We will be glad to contact you at that time. Thank you for your interest. How to Join |
