SAN DIEGO, California - Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the big data analytics and marketing applications company, today announced that the Teradata Customer Service Global Support Center earned certification for the tenth consecutive year.

Teradata beat the audit benchmark in many of the categories and posted its best overall rating to date.
