[Summary translation of the press release announced by Teradata Corporation on April 23, 2026]
### Summary of this announcement
- **'Leader' Selection:** Achieved the highest ratings in both functionality and usability in Nucleus Research's 2026 Data Science and Machine Learning Value Matrix.
- **Standardization of Agent Control:** Realized large-scale AI agent operations and governance through the new 'Enterprise AgentStack' technology and open-source 'MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.'
- **Infrastructure Efficiency:** Supports native hybrid search through an 'In-Database' method that performs AI processing directly within the database without moving data externally, eliminating the hassle and cost of building separate dedicated vector databases.
- **Democratization of Development:** Simplified the lifecycle management of enterprise AI agents with 'AgentBuilder,' which supports both no-code and pro-code environments.
Teradata (NYSE: TDC) announced today that it has been named a 'Leader' in the '2026 Data Science and Machine Learning (DSML) Platform Technology Value Matrix' released by Nucleus Research on April 7, 2026. This study is an annual value matrix that evaluates DSML platforms on two axes: 'Functionality' and 'Usability.' The Leader quadrant is awarded to vendors providing the highest overall value to enterprise customers. More than 20 vendors were evaluated this year, but only a select few were granted the title of Leader.
### Key factors for Teradata's selection as a 'Leader'
The Nucleus Research report highly evaluated the following Teradata features as differentiators from competitors:
- **Teradata Enterprise AgentStack and Open Source MCP Server:** Provides the 'Teradata Enterprise AgentStack' to standardize communication between AI agents and models, along with an open-source 'Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.' This enables the construction of a highly scalable, agentic architecture controlled under an enterprise's security framework.
- **Teradata Enterprise Vector Store with Native Hybrid Search:** Directly supports semantic similarity search, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and AI agent use cases within existing data warehouses (In-Database). This eliminates the need to build separate infrastructure for vector databases.
- **Teradata Data Analyst Agent:** An enterprise-grade AI analysis agent available on Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing for the direct integration of advanced agentic AI into a customer's cloud environment.
- **Teradata AgentBuilder and Expert Agent Templates:** An intelligent agent creation environment for corporate automation. Supporting both no-code and pro-code, it realizes structured agent lifecycle management through guided workflows and modular components.
- **Teradata AI Microservices:** A set of modularized container services within Teradata AI Factory. Enables highly scalable AI pipelines, vector functions, and integration with third-party AI tools without rebuilding existing data infrastructure.
### Executive Message
Comment from Sumeet Arora, Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Teradata: 'Being recognized as a leader in the Nucleus Research Value Matrix validates our enterprise AI platform, which is backed by trusted data, governed context, and deep analytical capabilities. While the market is flooded with platforms competing to add AI features, enterprises consistently choose Teradata as data volumes grow, models become more complex, and governance requirements become more stringent. This evaluation shows that companies are moving beyond the hype...'
