Better music out of NCR: As in the following paragraph from an article on WSJ. (A few weeks ago Business Week said NCR had more than 50% share of the high-end DW market. The real number must be between the numbers from WSJ and BW.) NCR is betting significant resources on its Teradata line of "data warehousing" products, which have a 40% share of the high-end market for such products. Data warehousing allows NCR's customers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Delta Air Lines to store and analyze reams of information about their customers and respond with rapid product and price changes. That high-end segment of the data-warehousing market is growing at 55% annually. While outsourcing manufacturing will free up resources for NCR's data-warehouse operations, the company's growth prospects are by no means assured, said John Jones of Salomon Smith Barney. "The speed with which they can regain a focused distribution in Fortune 500 accounts [for data warehousing] will dictate if they return to reasonable operating margins," he said. "The viability issue will be played over next 12 to 18 months."
