About Teradata Corporation
About Teradata Corporation
Teradata Corporation reported total revenues of $1.663 billion for calendar year 2025 across two operating segments — Product Sales and Consulting Services — with subscription-based contracts representing the majority of revenue. The company operates from headquarters in San Diego, California, employing approximately 5,100 people globally (roughly 30% in the United States and 70% across the rest of the world), and delivered more than 150 AI engagements at customer accounts in 2025. No single customer represents 10% or more of total revenue.
Teradata generates revenue through flexibly priced subscription offerings — ranging from capacity-based to consumption-based — sold directly through a sales force in which more than 80% of employees are in customer-facing or revenue-driving roles. The platform spans public cloud deployments on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as private cloud and on-premises configurations. Customers are concentrated in Financial Services, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Public Sector, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel/Transportation verticals. Hardware for on-premises offerings is assembled by Flex Ltd., with key components sourced from Dell Technologies (servers), NetApp (storage disk systems), and NVIDIA (GPUs); certain components are purchased from single sources. Teradata competes against AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake in the data management and analytics market.
Show full overview
Teradata's supply chain for on-premises hardware depends on Flex Ltd. as key contract manufacturer; a disruption at Flex or at a sole-source component supplier, or a global shortage of semiconductors or GPUs, could impact the timing or profitability of customer shipments. The 10-K notes that demand for GPUs and other AI-adjacent components may exceed supply, and that tariff or inflationary pressures could compress margins. Historically, the company has offset such pressures through price adjustments and alternative sourcing, but these measures may not fully mitigate future cost increases.
