Transform raw enterprise data into governed, business-ready context

Knowledge problems aren't new. Agentic AI is, and it turns every well-defined concept into reliable outputs at scale. Teradata’s knowledge capability creates the context layer agentic systems need.

Unify and activate enterprise knowledge

Give AI a consistent understanding of your business

Enterprise knowledge is fragmented across platforms, catalogs, policies, applications, workflows, and people. Teradata provides a governed foundation for creating, curating, and reusing trusted business knowledge across AI systems—helping applications and agents operate from consistent definitions, relationships, lineage, policies, and industry context.

Put governed business context to work

Tera Context Engine is an open, neutral context and orchestration layer for enterprise AI. It operates above and across databases, data platforms, pipeline engines, catalogs, knowledge repositories, models, applications, and AI agents—transforming distributed enterprise information into governed, reusable knowledge. Built once and governed consistently, that context can be reused across applications, agents, models, platforms, teams, and use cases.

Understand context through knowledge models

Give AI industry knowledge before it acts

Ground enterprise AI in decades of expert-authored industry knowledge, giving it the terminology, relationships, policies, processes, metrics, and operating conditions required to understand how complex businesses work.

Industry Knowledge Models provide the domain-correct business context generic AI lacks. They capture industry terminology, entities, relationships, policies, processes, metrics, and operating conditions to give AI a stronger foundation for accurate, explainable outcomes.

Combined with semantic relationships and deterministic grounding, these models help reduce ambiguity and retrieval noise while improving trust and time-to-value. Context can continue to improve through enterprise metadata, AI responses, corrections, and outcomes. 

Turn knowledge into context

How enterprise knowledge becomes reusable AI context

Tera Context Engine connects and governs context across existing enterprise ecosystems. It ingests signals from Teradata and third-party data, AI, BI, catalog, and transformation environments, enriches them with industry knowledge, semantic relationships, lineage, and governance, and makes trusted context available at runtime. Its open, bidirectional architecture can also write enriched context back across the ecosystem without requiring Teradata as the underlying data platform.

Enable use cases across industries

Trusted context improves AI across industries

See how governed, industry-grounded business context helps AI understand terminology, relationships, policies, processes, and operating conditions to produce more accurate, explainable, and actionable outcomes.

Build trusted context once. Reuse it across enterprise AI.

See how governed, industry-grounded business context can reduce the context tax, improve AI economics, strengthen explainability, and help move AI from experimentation toward production outcomes.
