whitepaper Air Force Health Study Brings Science of Epidemiology to the Agent Orange Issue With Help From SAS2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute
  Of the 19 million gallons of herbicides that U.S. warplanes sprayed onto the jungles and croplands of South Vietnam, 11 million gallons were the defoliant commonly known as Agent Orange. The health consequences of exposure to Agent Orange and its dioxin contaminant have been a topic of intense scientific investigation and debate since herbicide spraying ceased in 1971. Since 1978, the U.S. Air Force has been studying the health concerns of veterans and their families as well as trying to determine the long-term health risks attributable to Agent Orange exposure. From the beginning, the Air Force Health Study has relied on SAS to make sense of all the variables associated with the study.   
whitepaper SAS Helps TV Guide Increase Customers, Reduce Churn2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute
  For 50 years, TV Guide has been the grand dame of entertainment publishing. But the current television landscape is vastly different than it was in 1953. Viewers had three channel choices then; today, they have 300. Competition has boomed, too. Newspapers have beefed up their listings, more magazines offer television coverage and the Internet gives viewers a whole new avenue to plan their channel surfing. This increased competition also extends into the advertising world, where advertisers now have more magazines, as well as television alternatives, at their disposal. TV Guide has met these challenges with a more sophisticated approach to marketing its magazine and auxiliary products. Powering these efforts is TV Guide's use of SAS tools for customer relationship management.

whitepaper Swedish Volkswagen Subsidiary Uses SAS Across the Organization to Track Sales and Monitor Each Link in the Delivery Chain2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute
  A car is large and complex product, but not particularly demanding in terms of sales administration and logistics. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. The large number of different color, engine and equipment-level combinations means that an effective analysis tool is needed to give an overview on order volumes, which products are selling and which aren't and the type and quantity of spare parts and optional extras to be kept in stock. A data warehouse based on SAS software provides just such an overview for Svenska Volkswagen and does the job so well that almost all of the company's departments are using it.

whitepaper Texas Tech Accelerates Research With SAS and Grid Computing2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute
  In many fields of academic study - including physics, genetics, medicine and others - scientific research requires an intimate look at huge amounts of data and information. Indeed, probability modeling and data analysis have permeated modern scientific theories to the point where even a simple hypothesis can quickly become a complicated statistical problem that can be addressed only with simulation and validation - important processes that determine the statistical significance of results. At Texas Tech, the director of the Center for Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence and many of his colleagues are using SAS and grid computing to develop their computer-intensive research methods faster than ever before.
