I just got back from SAS Global Forum 2008 in San Antonio -- what a wild ride! At Opening Session, SAS CEO Jim Goodnight announced breaking news: SAS has acquired Teragram, a market leader in multilingual language processing technologies.

Why is this important? Because organizations will now be able to perform fast, efficient text searches and organize information in 30 languages.

In other news, the in-database functionality allowed by SAS' partnership with Teradata has shown tremendous early results - allowing one customer to complete a hurricane exposure analysis report in 90 minutes when it used to take two weeks. And two business professors are using SAS to predict NCAA tournament game winners -- with stunning accuracy.

Read on for all this and more.
