  Headquartered in Singapore, DBS Bank is one of the largest financial services groups in Asia. Like other industries, banks have a lot of data about their customers' banking habits or product usage, which could even be identifiable at an individual level.

DBS chose SAS Enterprise Miner, a powerful analytical technology, gives detailed customer segmentation and a better understanding of customer behavior that increases customer awareness and intelligence.

whitepaper EPA to Extend Air Quality Analytics to Local Agencies With SAS2006-07-04 04:33:41 SAS Institute
  Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) has long had an application that allows anyone with a Web browser access to air quality data - an application also built with SAS - the Air Quality Data Analysis Group wanted to go a step further and provide agencies with analytic capabilities that would allow them to explore air quality trends for their specific regions. So they built AirExplorer. AirExplorer provides broad access to a common set of analysis tools that helps analysts avoid duplicating work. Because the EPA is implementing new air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, the application came at a critical time.

whitepaper Estrella Seguros Uses SAS Customer Intelligence to Improve Profitability in a Market With Squeezing Margins2006-07-04 04:35:50 SAS Institute
  Auto insurance is a very tough and complex business and there are a large number of insurers competing for business, so the market is highly mature allowing for only a tiny growth in the volume of business. Profit margins, if positive, are very thin. Consequently, effective technical and management control is absolutely essential to keep Estrella Seguros' motor insurance business profitable. It is obviously essential that any insurer should not only be able to set a competitive yet profitable rate, but also should be able to provide a quote to the customer instantly and automatically. Like most motor insurers, Estrella Seguros uses SAS to perform the tariff segmentation and data analysis required to deliver accurate rating.   
whitepaper Gateway to the EU2006-07-04 04:36:55 SAS Institute

EUROPA, the gateway leading to the Web sites of the European Commission (EC) and other European institutions, accounts for more than 10 million visits each month.

SAS Web Analytics offers precise reporting of audience needs for one the largest public sector Web sites in the world.   
whitepaper Geology Students in Rio De Janeiro Count on SAS2006-07-04 04:40:08 SAS Institute
  Geology is traditionally a descriptive science that involves field observations and in-depth investigations of physical structures. Therefore, geologic data conventionally has been collected and measured qualitatively by describing colors, textures and many other surface characteristics. Today, the market requires geological analysts to go beyond a descriptive or qualitative analysis of nature. Federal University of Rio de Janeiro is the oldest university in Brazil and one of the oldest engineering schools in the world. Geology students at the university use SAS to manipulate and analyze large amounts of data. SAS now makes it easy for the students to conduct advanced quantitative research and to create advanced predictive models based on quantitative data.
