Program content
Business Intelligence has historically been left for business units to resolve on their own. This approach often resulted in a morass of disjointed software solutions that answered some questions but frequently created more questions. SAS 9 breaks that paradigm and gives organizations a truly integrated, enterprise class intelligence platform. With SAS 9 you can access data on any platform and deliver results to decision makers through intuitive interfaces. SAS 9 builds enterprise metadata, allowing decision makers to have confidence in the provenance of the facts they are presenting—ensuring decisions made with a level of confidence never before available.
