Story
Inside Northern Trust, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in financials groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Northern Trust uses QueryGrid from Teradata as the working layer for event streams. Teradata provides a connected multi-cloud data platform for large-scale analytics and mixed workload warehousing. The practical change is simple: real-time operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Northern Trust gets from Teradata is a durable place to run real-time operations and a way for platform engineers to see the same event streams at the same time.
