Dear Readers,
2008 looks to be the year that many companies go BIG with business intelligence (BI). Will you be one of them? Read on to learn how some of the world's smartest organizations will use BI to get ahead of the competition this year.

SAS is starting off the year with a bang - we're featured in the new must-read business book, The Breakthrough Company: How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers, which debuted at #7 on the New York Times best-seller list this week.
