Teradata Acquires Kickfire ???

Teradata acquired Kickfire in a quiet move. This is not a surprise from my perspective. Kickfire was developing IP which can boost Analytics by quite a margin. Considering Teradata's might in the Gaming industry, this kind of an acquisition will definitely strengthen their solution set.

Kickfire has been very successful in implementing Chipset based Analytics, which is a huge asset for Teradata, which has the best in class workload management.

We will watch in the next few weeks and months where this move will go to. Partners is not long away.
