Dear Readers,

We strive to make this newsletter as helpful and informative as possible. That's why we recently conducted a random survey of you, our readers. Thank you to those who responded to the survey. Your comments and suggestions are invaluable.

One common thread among all the replies is the desire for more technical tips. So, beginning in April, you'll see an increase in the number of tips in each newsletter. These tips come from SAS technical support and are designed to help you in your everyday work.

And speaking of help, in this issue, you'll find information on data integration and SAS Forecast Studio, plus a Live Web class on business intelligence. And don't forget about the events running in the left column. You're sure to find something useful in the list.

Happy learning!

Shelley Sessoms
Editor, Your SAS Technology Report
