whitepaper SAS Provides German Bank With Valuable Controlling, Marketing and Management Intelligence2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  As part of the company-wide strategy to move to a client-server architecture, the existing reporting system had to be modernized and operating costs lowered. The company was looking for a streamlined solution for group control which could be used to prepare regular standard reports quickly but which would also meet the company's stringent analytical requirements for extensive special evaluations. An intuitive interface was one of the top priorities for WestLB: Users with programming knowledge as well as staff from various departments needed to be able to work independently with the solution - from all WestLB locations throughout the world. To meet these needs, WestLB chose the SAS Integration Technologies and SAS Enterprise Guide.   
whitepaper Wells Fargo's 401(k) Business Booms With SAS2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  As a leading provider of retirement plans for small and large businesses, Wells Fargo has witnessed a 600 percent increase in 401(k) plans and a 670 percent increase in monthly 401(k) trade volumes in the past few years. Amazingly, the popular financial services company has managed this six-fold boost in business without additional trading staff. Thanks in part to a SAS application that automates a large part of the trading process; the bank now employs even fewer trading analysts than it did few years ago.

whitepaper Vertex Pharmaceuticals Saves Millions Using SAS for Clinical Trial Simulations2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  For pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, the development of a new medicine can take more than a decade - a decade of great expense for the developer and of prolonged anxiety for patients in need of new treatments. Meanwhile, the escalating cost of research and development, accompanied by the increasing complexity and expense of human clinical trials, threaten pharmaceutical innovation. That's why, several years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that the industry expand and accelerate development through simulated clinical trials - a method that was already being advocated at Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. Using SAS 9 technology, Vertex Pharmaceuticals has designed simulations of clinical trials and analyzed millions of data points created by thousands of virtual patients in each simulated trial.   
whitepaper Brazil's Unibanco Hones Client Strategies With SAS2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  Whenever customers interact with their bank, they provide bits of information. Their actions tell the bank which investment and savings products they prefer, for example, and indicate how they like to bank - whether it be online, at the ATM or at the branch office. A wealth of intelligence resides in all that customer data. And Unibanco, the third-largest private bank in Brazil, understands the value it contains. Using SAS Customer Intelligence, Unibanco makes its valuable customer data available throughout the company. Now marketing efforts are streamlined and more effective than ever.   
whitepaper DevTech Systems Develops SAS Applications for USAID2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  For more than 40 years, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has worked to help people overseas who are struggling to make a better life, by supporting health, agriculture, education, economic growth, global partnerships, humanitarian assistance, the environment, and democracy and governance around the world.

Designed by DevTech Systems, ESDB combines, analyzes and presents data from more than 50 different data sources worldwide.   
whitepaper Notre Dame, Trinity Health Bridge Academic, Industry Research With SAS Analytics2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  Through their research, academicians are trying to solve business problems. They just don't have enough of what they need to do the job well, explains the assistant professor of management information systems at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. Without real access to company executives or a company's hard data, academicians have to guess about what is important to industry. Fortunately, though, the professor has fostered a symbiotic relationship with his former employer, Trinity Health. The collaboration gives him access to research data in exchange for assistance in furthering business intelligence applications, such as the healthcare system's physician profiling application built with SAS.

The students gain in-depth knowledge of SAS and geographical information systems.
