Global technology leader in enterprise data warehousing Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation is helping Charming Shoppes Inc implement a series of technology upgrades to back the retailer's ambitious growth activities, the companies announced at the National Retail Federation's 2006 Big Show.
Charming Shoppes, a leading specialty fashion retailer operating the Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug and Catherines Plus Sizes chains (both physical stores and e-commerce sites), upgraded and expanded its Teradata data warehouse to facilitate additional users, applications and workload.
Charming Shoppes, which recently acquired Crosstown Traders, owners of 11 catalog titles selling women's clothing, footwear and specialty gifts, has been using data warehouse technology from Teradata since 1997.
The new system will enable the retailer to move toward an even greater active data warehousing environment enabling queries from their 2,265 stores to be fully supported.
"The upgrade and expansion of the Teradata data warehouse technology here will help drive their efforts to meet and exceed their customers' expectations whether they shop in one of their stores, through one of their catalogs or on one of their Web sites," said Denis Gingue, Chief Information Officer of Charming Shoppes.
"They were attracted to Teradata because of their technical expertise and proven capabilities to support their strategy."
In addition to the technology upgrade, Teradata Project Management helped with the technology conversion and implementation of the active data warehouse solution.
