whitepaper Understanding Cloud Computing: A White Paper for Executives Making Decisions on Computing Resources2009-08-10 PhD Computing
  Cloud computing offers companies the option of transferring their IT operations into an on-demand environment, where they can develop, deploy, and manage applications, and pay only for the time and capacity that they need. Many of the top hosting providers now offer cloud services. Any type of company that requires application hosting could potentially benefit from the provisioning of computing infrastructure resources as a service. In addition to the economic advantages of an on-demand computing environment, companies also enjoy the flexibility of being able to scale their services up or down to accommodate changing needs or business requirements, without having to invest in new equipment.

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 aim of this paper is to explain each activity briefly and to suggest a possible way of linking them together. Finally, some recommendations on SAS offerings are given. 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.
