SAS^® for Defense

Take decision making to another level with predictive and optimization capabilities

The US Department of Defense faces daunting challenges. With constrained budgets, difficult trade-offs must be made that will have long-term effects. Tactical plans have to be weighed against strategic initiatives such as readiness, reset, recapitalization, recruiting and retention.

It’s all about making the best decisions in an increasingly tough environment. On the battlefield, the consequences of making a wrong decision can be fatal; on the business side, uninformed decisions can be costly. Defense leaders need alternative solutions that provide them with predictive knowledge to make tough, but accurate decisions with minimized risk.

Logistics – Forecast shortages and predict failures; increase combat readiness and sustain operations by giving warfighters what they need, when and where they need it, at an affordable cost.

Performance Management – Reduce risk and deliver on your commitments; monitor and correct potential problems before they arise to ensure program success.

Activity-Based Management – Accurately predict future costs and resource requirements to make accurate, insightful decisions that improve overall financial performance.

Financial Management – Improve financial planning and quickly produce accurate financial statements to understand how funds are expended.

Workforce Planning – Manage force generation; assess active-duty and civilian employees; recruit and retain the best future military leaders; know what skills are available and where.

Fraud Detection – Prevent fraud, improper payments and the misuse of defense funds and taxpayer dollars.

Military Healthcare – Timely analysis of information leads to sound decision-making for better quality healthcare at an affordable cost; whether budgetary or clinical, forecast and predict future outcomes.

Predictive Maintenance – Make condition-based maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance and predictive asset maintenance realities.
