Teradata Consulting & Managed Services
Run it, modernize it, or move off of it.We are here to advise and assist with your decision.
Teradata still runs the queries your business is built on. Whether the right answer is tuning what you own, modernizing it, or migrating to a cloud platform, we have done all three — and we will tell you honestly which one your estate needs.
Where Teradata fits
A warehouse worth getting right
Teradata is rarely the whole data estate anymore — but it is usually the part the business cannot afford to have slow down. We treat it that way, whether it is staying for another five years or being retired next quarter.
The workloads that stayed
Concurrency, mixed workloads, and decades of business logic that never moved to the lake.
Performance, not hardware
Most capacity complaints are skew, statistics, and join strategy — not a node shortage.
Cost you can defend
Compression, retention, and workload priorities that cut spend without touching an SLA.
A path forward
Modernize in place or migrate out — decided on evidence from your own workload data.
Offerings
Where we plug in
A fixed-scope health check, a tuning engagement on the workloads that hurt, a team that runs the estate for you, or a full migration — start wherever the pain is.
Health Check & Assessment
A fixed-scope review of performance, capacity, cost, and risk — with a prioritized remediation plan.
Performance Tuning
Skew, statistics, indexing, join strategy, and query rewrites on the workloads that actually hurt.
Managed Database Services
Our Virtual-DBA® team runs your Teradata estate day to day, at the coverage level you choose.
Migration & Modernization
Onto Teradata, between Teradata environments, or off it entirely — one proven methodology.
Data Engineering & Integration
ETL and ELT pipelines, orchestration, and reconciliation built to survive the next platform change.
AI & Analytics Enablement
Make the warehouse a governed, trustworthy foundation for analytics and machine learning.
Capabilities
Engine-level expertise, end to end
Most Teradata problems presented to us as capacity problems turn out to be design problems. Knowing the difference is what keeps a hardware conversation from starting.
Physical Design
Primary index selection, partitioning, and distribution that match how the data is really queried.
Query Optimization
Explain-plan analysis and rewrites for complex predicates, joins, and large summary tables.
Statistics & Skew
Automated collection strategies and skew analysis that keep the optimizer honest.
Compression & Storage
Multi-value compression and retention policy that reclaim capacity without a hardware purchase.
Workload Management
Priorities, throttles, and service levels so the month-end close never queues behind ad hoc SQL.
Backup & Recovery
Backup strategy, restore testing, and disaster recovery you have actually rehearsed.
Security & Compliance
Access control, row-level security, encryption, and audit evidence for regulated environments.
Capacity Planning
Growth modeling and forecasting that tell you when to spend — and when not to.
Upgrades & Patching
Version currency planned around your release calendar, not the vendor's.

Why it works
Advice with nothing to sell you
We have migrated warehouses onto Teradata and off it in the same decade. That is the whole reason our recommendation is worth something.
Platform-agnostic advice
We have no license quota to fill, so the recommendation follows the evidence.
Deep engine expertise
Indexing, skew, and workload management, not surface-level administration.
Operators, not just advisors
The people who write the plan also run the databases.
Migration proven both ways
Onto Teradata and off it, with validation frameworks from real projects.
AI readiness
AI is only as good as the warehouse under it
Every vendor is now selling AI on top of enterprise data. The hard part was never the model — it is the governance, quality, and access control on the data it reads. That part is ours.
Get the data AI-ready
Quality, lineage, and definitions fixed at the source — the work no model can do for you.
Analytics in the warehouse
Scoring and feature engineering where the data already lives, instead of copying it out.
Governed access for AI
Row-level security, masking, and audit trails that hold up when agents start querying.
Honest readiness review
What your estate can support today, what it cannot, and what it costs to close the gap.
Signature offering
Data warehouse migration, either direction.
Moving onto Teradata, between environments, or off it to a cloud platform — the destination changes, the landmines do not. Same five phases, same validation discipline, every time.
- 01
Inventory & assess
Every table, job, procedure, and report — with owners, real usage, and the SQL that will not port cleanly.
- 02
Decide the destination
Stay and modernize, or move to a cloud platform. We model cost, effort, and risk for each before anyone commits.
- 03
Convert with frameworks
Our code-generation and conversion tooling handles DDL, ETL, and stored procedures — not a hand-written rewrite per object.
- 04
Run in parallel & reconcile
Both platforms load side by side while we validate history row by row. Nobody switches on a promise.
- 05
Cut over & operate
Production cutover, then ongoing managed support until your team is running it without us.
Managed services
Your DBA bench, without the bench
XTIVIA has run enterprise databases as Virtual-DBA® since 1999. Coverage scales from business hours to extended hours to full 24×7, and a flexible block-of-hours arrangement covers the estates that only need us some of the time.
Monitoring & response
Proactive alerting with defined response and escalation, so failures are handled before they are noticed.
Routine administration
Backups, restores, space, users, security, patching, and upgrades — the work that quietly slips.
Continuous tuning
Ongoing performance and capacity review, not a one-time engagement that decays.
Named senior DBAs
You get people who know your environment, backed by a team, and an audited SOC 2 process.
Success stories
Two retailers, opposite directions.
One moved off Teradata because the economics said so. The other moved onto it and needed the engine expertise to make it perform. Both are ours.
and 40+ more across regulated industries
