Coginiti + Teradata
Semantic Intelligence for Teradata
Teradata runs some of the most valuable analytic workloads in the world, and decades of business logic live inside it. Coginiti gives your team a modern, code-first workspace to discover, transform, test, and define that logic, and a semantic layer that carries it to every platform and every AI agent.
Better Together
Teradata runs the data. Coginiti runs the meaning.
Teradata has powered enterprise analytics for decades. Its optimizer, workload management, and sheer reliability are why the largest banks, retailers, telecoms, and agencies still run their most important queries on it, on premises or in VantageCloud.
The challenge is rarely the platform. It is the thousands of BTEQ scripts, views, and stored procedures that encode how the business actually calculates things, written by people who may have retired, and the pressure to reconcile those calculations with a newer cloud warehouse running beside them.
Coginiti is the workspace that spans both. Develop and test SQL against Teradata, capture the trusted logic in versioned CoginitiScript packages with tests, and publish governed definitions to a semantic layer that serves Teradata and the cloud platform from one place. Modernize the meaning without betting the business on a cutover date.
Why Coginiti and Teradata Work Together
Coexistence, Not Cutover
One semantic layer across Teradata and the cloud.
Coginiti connects to Teradata and to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, and Fabric. Define a metric once and serve it from whichever platform holds the data today, so migration becomes a sequence of safe moves rather than a single risky event.
Capture Institutional Logic
Keep what your senior analysts know.
Coginiti records the queries, the tests, the review threads, and the assumptions behind every definition. When the person who wrote the original BTEQ script leaves, the organization retains the why, not just the SQL.
Modern Tooling for Teradata SQL
A workbench built for people who write a lot of SQL.
Autocomplete, static analysis, profiling, visual explain plans, and shared workspaces for Teradata, in the same editor your team uses for every other platform in the estate.
Everything Coginiti Does on Teradata
From the first exploratory query to the governed answer an executive reads, one platform covers the full lifecycle.
Data Discovery
Find it. Profile it. Trust it.
Browse Teradata databases, tables, and views from the Coginiti Database Explorer, profile columns on demand, and search the Analytics Catalog for the queries and models your organization already relies on before rewriting a thirty-year-old calculation from scratch.
Explore Data WorkbenchData Transformation
Modular, governed transformation in the language of SQL.
Author modular CoginitiScript transformations that compile to Teradata SQL. Break monolithic scripts into reusable, parameterized blocks, version every change with review, and run pipelines from the workbench or the Execution API.
Explore CoginitiScriptData Quality Testing
Encode assumptions. Validate everything.
Declare schema, uniqueness, completeness, integrity, and volume tests as CoginitiScript test blocks that run on Teradata. Use them to prove a migrated calculation matches the original, and to stop a pipeline when it does not.

Define once. Trust everywhere.
Define entities, dimensions, measures, and relationships over Teradata once. Serve them to MicroStrategy, Tableau, Power BI, and other BI tools over JDBC and ODBC, and to AI agents through semantic SQL, so every consumer computes the same number.
Explore Semantic LayerCoginiti Forge
An AI co-developer for the people who build the foundation.
Forge is the co-development agent for Teradata practitioners. It helps translate legacy transformation logic into governed, testable CoginitiScript, define the semantic graph over your schemas, and record the business context behind each definition.

Governed answers for stakeholders who need BI, not SQL.
Guide gives business stakeholders governed, plain-language answers from Teradata data, with tables and charts computed from published definitions rather than raw tables, for the questions that never justified a new report.
