Feature Announcement: Enterprise clients can now integrate their Teradata Vantage as an additional backend in Keboola

Teradata Vantage is the connected multi-cloud data platform for enterprise analytics. It unifies enterprise-grade data lakes, data warehouses, analytics, and data sources. 

With Keboola, enterprise clients can now integrate their Teradata Vantage as a backend to iterate faster and streamline your data operations.

“Not only has Keboola unblocked a lot of pain points in our previous systems and processes, but it’s also helped us get a better understanding of our data and where our resources can be better allocated.” - Ilja Volf, Mall Group’s Head of Data Analytics and Business Intelligence

Why Keboola + Teradata?

Teradata is extremely powerful. But it is designed for Enterprise analytics. This is why the top-class resilience, scale, and capacity of Teradata come at the cost of longer processes, more validations and slower outputs for your engineering and analytic initiatives. 

With Keboola, you can integrate your Teradata Vantage as a backend to iterate faster, increase analytic output, and streamline your data operations end-to-end with the best price-performance ratio.

From the dreaded backlog to long-tail analytics

Data initiatives are often slower than their backlog buildup. For every new feature or product idea that gets picked up, dozens more end up in the backlog due to limited execution resources. Let’s dive deeper to understand how this anti-pattern can be solved.

1. The problem: Growing backlog & low impact

Teradata is a fantastic data platform. But its state-of-the-art engineering and excellent data governance come at the cost of low flexibility and slow time-to-market. 

The data team focuses on high-value projects, like building the Customer 360 view, or regulatory reporting.

But the team’s speed limits the output to a couple of high-value projects per quarter. Other interesting - and revenue-generating projects - get left to the backlog, such as customer data enrichment, integration of your proprietary data with marketing for personalized advertising, building predictive models for niche business verticals (sales lead conversion probability, tier 2 customer churn rate, …). 

All together, your tech stack and processes are slowing you down, while growing the backlog and limiting the impact of analytics on your business’s transformation.

2. The goal: Long-tail analytics

Long-tail is a term derived from Google. The search giant noticed that long-tail keywords (ex: “summer mountain running shoes men”) were queried less often than short-tail keywords (ex: “running shoes”), but their cumulative value for converting a search into a sale was 10x that of short keywords.

Similarly, long-tail analytics incorporates multiple smaller projects that are usually forgotten in the backlog due to resource and headcount constraints but have a cumulative greater transformative power for the business.

The power of the long-tail is that instead of focusing all your efforts on 1-5 big projects, you could (with the right technical solution) build dozens of smaller analytic features and projects. The smaller projects and features each improve your business processes and outcomes a bit. But together, they act as a domino effect that delivers a great impact on the bottom-line. 

How do we get to long-tail analytics?

3. The bridge: Keboola’s integration with Teradata

Keboola helps you build data features and products with your existing infrastructure.

With its user-friendly interface, scalable infrastructure, and best-in-class price-performance, your existing team can accelerate its data operations to achieve long-tail analytics.

Increase the impact of your analytics by turning your backlog into a source of feature ideas. 

Automate sales reporting, enrich DWH data for ad hoc growth initiatives, run A/B tests, and many more at scale.

Success story: How MallGroup >10x analytic output with Keboola

MallGroup is one of the biggest European retailers. Their corporate acquisition of 30+ companies (and their data systems) alongside legacy infrastructure slowed analytic output for MallGroup. By using Keboola, MallGroup was able to reach the analytic long-tail in under a year.

How does Keboola’s backend integration work?

Keboola already offers multiple backends (Python, R, Snowflake, Oracle, Exasol, Redshift, etc.). You can use Keboola's backends to write custom-code transformations, perform jobs, or even build sophisticated machine learning products.

Now, Teradata users can bring their Vantage data engines and warehouses to the game. 

By integrating the Teradata Vantage platform into Keboola as a backend, users can tap into the raw power of Teradata combined with the user-friendliness of the Data Stack as a Service of Keboola.

Keboola can drive long-tail analytics for you, too

By integrating Teradata as a backend into Keboola’s platform, users can iterate faster with the same underlying infrastructure.

There are multiple benefits for Teradata users:

  1. Prototype faster. With Keboola’s friendly UI and devoted product-building features, Teradata users can prototype faster. Use the Flow Builder to create ELT/ELT pipelines with a simple drag-and-drop user interface that speeds up prototyping . Keboola’s 250+ integrations help to get data from multiple data sources and send data to multiple destinations with a button click. No need to write custom code, just tap into existing Components to do the heavy-lifting for you.
  2. Build Flexible Architectures. Whether you want to tap the existing models in your data warehouse or build new pipelines with Keboola to create a data mesh, the choice is yours. The flexible architecture fosters experimentation. ETL and ELT pipelines are easily built and automated.
  3. Take Control of Governance. Keboola tracks every platform touchpoint following the OpenLineage protocol. Integrate telemetry with Data Lineage Tools or inspect it yourself. The telemetry covers every user, job, and data change event, offering end-to-end transparency for every change done within Keboola’s platform. This allows you to build enterprise-grade secure products while monitoring every job on the platform. Without needing to implement monitoring yourself. The granular data access permissions empower you to control who can see and change data.
  4. Foster Collaboration. Centralize and share data between teams, projects, and departments. Keboola’s Data Catalog allows your team to securely share enriched data. Remove data access friction, while keeping a full audit trail for lineage. 
  5. Democratize Data Operations. Keboola offers three ways of interacting with the platform: (1) user-friendly drag-and-drop interfaces, (2) customizable development sandboxes, and (3) automated code executions via Keboola’s CLI. This means every data stakeholder in your company can access Keboola according to their needs and standards. There is no need to build data silos or foster insight-dependency on engineers. Every stakeholder can use Keboola to build the data products according to their skills and needs.
  6. Pick the Best Tools for the Job. From engineering features like CDC and development branches to data science toolboxes, Keboola offers out-of-the-box tools that speed up and automate the work of data operatives with the technology they already know and grew to love. The familiar technology does not require a steep learning curve to master the platform, so your teams can start delivering results faster.
  7. Remove dependencies. Keboola integrates on top of your existing infrastructure. There is no need to change warehouses, no need to move data, and no need to integrate additional expensive tooling. In other words, no additional dependency is introduced. Feel free to plug-and-play novel tools to help you streamline operations, without the fear of vendor lock-in. You can always decouple Keboola from your Teradata assets, so no data is locked and no technological dependency hurts your agility. 

The new backend joins the best of both worlds - Teradata’s engineering and analytical power at scales on one hand with Keboola’s user-friendliness that speeds up your data processes on the other hand.

Leverage your existing technology to achieve more. Faster.

“Our previous solution was simply not allowing us to cover the amount of ground we needed to move at the speed we wanted. We needed autonomy more than anything so our engineers weren’t hindered by limited systems.” - Ilja Volf, Mall Group’s Head of Data Analytics and Business Intelligence
