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.

SAS Delivering End-to-End System Data Collection and Interpretation 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

Suncorp-Metway is one of Australia's 25 largest companies and boasts a share market value of around AUD$5.8 billion (US$3.7 billion). As in all insurance companies, the actuary's role within Suncorp is one of constant collection and interpretation of numerical data. The result is critical information that is used right across all Suncorp insurance lines of business. But with the acquisition of GIO and the almost overnight increase of insurance policies to over 3 million, there was an urgent need to encompass the GIO insurance systems. Since they had already developed a comprehensive SAS-based solution, they were able to utilize the SAS cross-platform capabilities to achieve this with minimal personnel resources and in a very short time.

Steelcase Uses SAS 9 to Improve Sales, Profits 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

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. The data engineer keeps tabs on the company's organizational data, including sales history, distributor information, customer demographics and more. With just a handful of staffers, his department uses SAS software, fed by data from SAP/BW and other sources, to run customized reports for customers, distributors and more than 500 Steelcase decision makers.

SR Technics Switzerland Turns Data Into Knowledge With the SAS Intelligence Platform 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

Safety is one of the most important aspects of the transportation industry, which is why maintenance is a prime focus of the regulatory authorities. The guidelines and laws promulgated by state bodies for the airline industry are particularly stringent. To be successful and to retain their good reputation, SR Technics Switzerland (SR Technics) have to guarantee absolute safety and provide the best possible quality. This is why they decided on SAS. The SAS Intelligence Platform helps them to cope with this challenging task by providing reliable, comprehensive reports.

Fast, Accurate Merchandising 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

For more than 45 years Sport Chalet has been Southern California's premier retailer of specialty sports equipment. In the past decade, the chain's growth has taken off as it has branched out to other parts of California, Nevada and Arizona. To accommodate growth and stave off competition from bigger sporting goods chains and niche sports retailers, Sport Chalet sought better ways to select and manage inventory. The retailer wanted to do a better job with assortments, pricing, promotions, space plans and allocations. SAS Merchandise Intelligence Solutions makes that happen by churning through volumes of data quickly to create information the company's buyers and merchandisers need to drive revenue.

Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders by Giving Them the Power to Know With SAS Data Warehousing 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

With an underlying philosophy of encouraging change, S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) believes that adaptability to change is the driving force in its efforts to produce valued and socially responsive managers. With emphasis on a seamless combination of the theoretical and the practical, a data warehousing and data mining solution is considered a key to garnering analytical capabilities in true business situations for students at SPJIMR. As a top business intelligence and data warehousing solution, SAS was the obvious choice to help students make better business decisions in the future and to empower the faculty of SPJIMR with knowledge of cutting-edge technology.

Solvay Pharmaceuticals Enhances Worldwide Drug Development Efforts With SAS 2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute

Shortening drug development cycles is a primary goal of all pharmaceutical companies. But the need is compounded when companies lack sufficient means for sharing the data used in collaborative research efforts at locations spread around the globe. Such was the case for Solvay Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary corporation of the worldwide Solvay Group of chemical and pharmaceutical companies headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, but with test facilities in the Netherlands, United States, Germany and Japan. Using SAS Drug Development, Solvay Pharmaceuticals effectively removes geographic boundaries to make information available to anyone who needs it, when they need it.
