whitepaper Pitney Bowes Case Study: BECU2009-07-31 Pitney Bowes
  Founded in 1935 by 25 Boeing employees, BECU is the fourth largest credit union in the country based on both asset size and membership. It needed to provide employees with a 360 degree view of each member. In addition, data then needed to be transformed into rich information to drive mission-critical analyses and decisions. BECU chose Data Flow to bring data integration and business intelligence to the organization. This resulted in the creation of a comprehensive data warehouse and the 360 degree view of each member to be leveraged for exceptional member service. This cleansed data was then integrated into the AnySite analytic tool to power its site selection strategy and marketing efforts.

whitepaper Managing the Future: Analytic Insights for More Confident, Proactive Decision Making2009-07-01 SAS Institute
  The task of managing the future comprises different types of activities: forecasting, risk management, decision making and planning.

The need to deal with the future is probably as old as mankind. For example, knowing when to sow a plant and when to harvest it was (and still is) a crucial activity. The need for gaining insights about the future is of particular interest when there is a time lag between awareness of an impending event and occurrence of that event.

  As collaboration and data sharing within and between organizations continues to rise, businesses will need to protect sensitive data now more than ever before. If an organization cannot assure its customer base that strong security measures are in place to protect credit card information and other types of personal and sensitive data, customers will vote with their feet and flee to a competitor.
