Gov’t Agency Combines Teradata with Universal Nexus License
A major government agency that loves its Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse has made it ten times more powerful by purchasing a Universal Nexus license. When you combine the greatest data warehouse database company with software that works across all databases, you have the perfect one-two punch.
What is a Universal Nexus License?
A Universal Nexus License means a company pays a single annual fee and gets all Nexus features for an unlimited number of users. Co-developed with Microsoft for 3 years, Nexus has worked equally well on Teradata, Snowflake, Databricks, Oracle, DB2, Netezza, Greenplum, Postgres, MySQL, Yellowbrick, Vertica, Microsoft Azure Synapse, SQL Server, Excel, and Access.
According to the CEO of Coffing Data Warehousing, Tom Coffing, “Nexus is an end-user’s dream. They can customize the look and feel to a dark, light, or any color mode that best suits their eyes. They can write SQL, or Nexus will generate it automatically. Either way, they work faster than ever across every system. They can join tables and views, Excel, Access, or files across all databases seamlessly, thanks to the world’s best federation capabilities. Nexus puts the power in the users’ hands to access, query, join, or migrate data between all systems with a few clicks of the mouse.”
What does AI without AI on Nexus mean?
The world is racing toward artificial intelligence, but most companies still struggle to get their data where AI can see it.
Nexus fixes that. Instantly.
We call it AI Without AI — technology that makes your data AI-ready before you ever deploy an algorithm.
With Nexus, users can now drag any result set and drop it directly:
- Into AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure Blob/Factory
- Onto local servers or shared network drives
- Or even schedule the export to a Nexus Server, which runs the query and places the results directly into the target bucket automatically
Nexus doesn’t just copy data — it uses each vendor’s high-speed utilities like TPT (Teradata) and COPY INTO (Snowflake) for lightning-fast, native performance.
The result? Your query results move from analysis to AI pipelines in seconds.
How did Nexus become the Choice for the government agency?
The agency grew frustrated with SQL Assistant and Teradata Studio and felt that the software no longer met their analytical needs. They asked for a demo of Nexus, and after an hour, were interested in taking the conversation further.
As the head of the Enterprise Group stated, “I see why it took 20 years to develop Nexus, and I am amazed at how much you got done in 20 years.”
To prove our long-standing tradition of customizing Nexus to customers’ needs, the agency set up a testing team across dozens of departments and tested Nexus for 6 months. They asked for enhancements until Nexus was completely customizable around each individual user’s needs.
What 10 Things Can Nexus Do That No Other Query Tool Can Do?
After two decades of development, Nexus has redefined what a query tool can do. Here are ten innovations you will not find anywhere else.
Run queries on all systems simultaneously in light, dark, or any color mode the user chooses.
Convert table structures (DDL) between any two systems instantly.
Migrate tables between any two systems using each vendor’s load utilities, with setup taking a minute.
Receive result sets and immediately create Tableau-like dashboards with no user intervention.
Join tables across all systems in a single query.
Drag results to the cloud, or any other storage, as JSON, Parquet, CSV, Excel, or TXT files and query them.
Query or join files, tables, views, Excel, or Access on any database.
Process result sets in Nexus to generate analytics such as Rank, CSUM, MSUM, MDIFF, etc.
Provide customizable quick keys in each query window for maximum development
