whitepaper Woori Bank Reduces Operational Risk With SAS2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  Operational risk is an ever-present challenge of the banking industry, inhibiting performance and reducing profits as banks need to keep adequate reserves of capital to cover potential losses. But in recent years, corporate wrongdoing, high-profile fraud and major process failures have put the dangers of operational risk - and the consequences of poorly managing it - in the spotlight. Against this background, Woori Bank has become a benchmark success story in operational risk management and a reference for Korea's Financial Supervisory Service, setting the standard for other Korean banks to follow.   
whitepaper First Full Web-Based Self-Service Reporting "A Cut Above the Rest"2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  The Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) operates as a central point to receive and process applications for admission to the majority of undergraduate degree, diploma and advanced diploma courses. Every year, tens of thousands of applications are received by the UAC via the web, telephone and mail. The data contained in each of those applications, once captured and stored in an Ingres database, needs then to be made available to institutions and their faculties over the Internet and in a format that will enable them to select the most suitable course candidates. In order to provide that facility and ensure it can be achieved with high levels of data security, extraction, manageability and accuracy, UAC opted for an upgrade to SAS 9.

whitepaper How One of the World's Largest Conservation Groups Conserves Its Own Precious Marketing Resources2006-09-28 01:00:20 SAS Institute
  World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is one of the world's largest and most successful conservation organizations, protecting endangered species and their habitats around the globe. Few years ago, there was not a separate marketing analysis group, and the marketing analysis that was done was not done on the same level as the private sector. The organization's marketing staff had no easy way to know specifics about contributors, nor could employees easily understand the impact of any given marketing effort. To make better use of the organization's U.S. membership data while avoiding what WWF considered an unwise use of time and money, the decision was made to invest in business intelligence software. SAS was an easy choice.
