Diamond Exploration Company Seeks Security and Productivity Benefits for Remote Teams 2007-01-05 01:00:23 Microsoft

De Beers India conducts active diamond exploration in seven Indian states with field-based teams of geophysicists, geologists, security specialists, and others. To protect highly proprietary information on potential mining sites, and to make the most of the challenging work to find and explore such sites, De Beers India must provide its mobile employees with the most advanced security and productivity tools available. Above all, these tools need to address the protection of data that must be communicated over Internet satellite links. To this end, De Beers India has piloted a deployment of the Windows Vista operating system to a small group of IT professionals and laid plans for a production deployment to some 100 mobile employees.

NCCU has selected SAS Enterprise BI Server and SAS ETL Server software.

Competency Center Drives Return on BI Investments at Nedbank 2007-01-05 01:00:23 SAS Institute

In 2002, Nedbank Retail started integrating data with SAS to provide a 360-degree view of the customer based on information collected from its transactional systems.

NCSU Professor Gives Students Workplace Edge With SAS 2007-01-05 01:00:23 SAS Institute

In an uncertain labor market, recent college graduates need every advantage available to stand out from the crowded field of job applicants. An N.C.
