“The Teradata Opti Awards celebrate the highest achievements in analytics, honoring Teradata customers who have brought new perspective, uncovered hidden insights and new optics that drive optimum business outcomes for their organizations,” said Dr. Jeff Tanner, Dean of Old Dominion University’s Strome College of Business and Teradata Opti Awards judge. “This is an exciting global competition that will select the very best innovations in the industry, highlighting applications of analytics that are on the cutting edge.”

The 2018 Teradata Opti Award winners will be measured by business outcomes in the following categories:

• Amazing Analytics – Are your analytics prescriptive, descriptive, predictive, cognitive or even diagnostic? How have you combined brainpower, manpower, methodologies, the science of numbers, data and discovery to work in unlocking answers? Are you able to ask questions on-demand that you never thought of previously and present answers to executives in more meaningful ways?
• Cloud Revolution – Did a team, department, or business unit decision or even a corporate mandate prompt you to embrace the cloud or hybrid cloud?  How has focusing on analytics rather than infrastructure driven innovation or enabled new business models?  How has as-a-service consumption developed new skill sets that drove insights to excel the business? Were you able to harness the cloud to incorporate new data types and sources to develop new analytics to meet market needs?
• Relationship Voyager – Whether you have customers, patients, members or constituents, how did you identify, reinvent and optimize their experience? How did you bridge the divides between insights and outcomes, as well as between understanding and meeting their or your needs?
• Return on Innovation – Are you on the leading edge of innovation? Did you fail fast and excel even faster? Have you created a new market or product? Challenged the industry? Undergone a digital transformation?  How did your investment impact your return on innovation? Did you capitalize on AI? IoT? Or a cool mixture of analytic techniques and new data sources?
