US firm helps find better ways to master their information assets

In the increasingly digital world, everything is connected, but the connections may not always be obvious.

So say officials from Teradata Corp, the Dayton, Ohio-based data management company, which is hoping to expand its data analytics business in China, where billions of terabytes of data are being gathered each year.

Aaron Hsin, president of Teradata greater China, says that companies in many traditional sectors are now looking at finding better ways to master their data assets and unlock their hidden value, and that presents his firm with a golden opportunity, adding that local telecom and financial corporations are its major customers.
