whitepaper The Effect of Intellectual Property Commoditization on Business Strategy2009-05-11
  In the early 21st century a greater focus on intangible assets is gaining ground. This marks a paradigm shift in how intangible assets - specifically, Intellectual Property (IP) - are viewed from an economic standpoint. Patents, while once viewed as tools used primarily for the prevention of copying of inventions, have now become business assets that can be aggregated to defend market shares or even entire markets. Naturally, these modern business assets are of great interest to investors and have thus become subject to valuation and trade in much the same manner as securities, or even commodities. This paper introduces emerging business models in this arena and suggests measures that technology companies might take to protect market shares in view of the new economic landscape.

whitepaper Closing the Tax Gap: Accurately Identify and Prioritize Tax Returns That Have a High Likelihood of Underreporting and a High Magnitude of Potential Collections2009-05-01 SAS Institute
  More sophisticated revenue departments are starting to augment their rules-based systems with scores generated by analytical modeling. SAS analytical models assess a multitude of data points across the entire tax-filer base -looking at thousands of variables and conditions - to more effectively determine which returns are the most likely candidates for review, identify the reason and rank-order them by severity. Scoring capability can improve audit success by as much as 20 to 50 percent, compared to traditional rules-based approaches. Advanced, nonlinear modeling from SAS adds even more precision, which translates into even better rank ordering, fewer false positives, higher revenues and faster return on investment.

whitepaper 10 Barriers to eCommerce and Their Solutions2009-04-14
  It has been often said the Internet has leveled the playing field, notably so in the world of eCommerce. Without the need for a traditional store front (employees, insurance, or all the other sundry demands of maintaining a physical presence), a merchant can very quickly begin selling compelling products. The Internet has also leveled other barriers to entry. Costly advertising in Yellow Pages, newspapers, or magazines has given way to cost free search engines, email campaigns, low cost banner ads, or other online promotional schemes like Google AdWords. However, all merchants, online or offline, face the barriers presented by consumer psychology. This paper seeks to enumerate ten major barriers facing eCommerce and proposes generalized solutions in terms of both a software solution and technique.
