Tianjin Unicom Partners With SAS 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

Texas Tech Accelerates Research With SAS and Grid Computing 2006-10-20 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.

Swinburne Builds on Intelligence With SAS 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

The IT department of Victoria's Swinburne University of Technology is responsible for three main areas: client services, infrastructure, and information systems. The latter involves all the university's software development and support for core systems. It is this area that is the focus of Information System Integration Strategy (ISIS). When ISIS was first set up, the department evaluated what was required for the project and assessed the latest tools on the market to help it build a business intelligence solution. One of the issues the university was facing with data integration was that it wasn't instantaneous. The university went with Oracle for portal integration tools, and for business intelligence software it purchased the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform.

Swedish Volkswagen Subsidiary Uses SAS Across the Organization to Track Sales and Monitor Each Link in the Delivery Chain 2006-10-20 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.

Office furniture doesn't seem like a complicated product, but the people at Steelcase will tell otherwise. It's the Steelcase's senior business data engineer's job to capture who buys what, from which distributor, at what price and why.
