SAS® Fair Banking was voted best in the Compliance Software category, while SAS Enterprise BI Server received top honors in the Enterprise Server category. “Nobody is as familiar with enterprise technology as Datamation.com readers. They demand the best hardware and software to help them meet the networking challenges they face,” said Chris Nerney, executive editor of EarthWeb.com’s IT Management Channel. “When these readers choose a vendor’s product as best in its category, it means something.” Receiving more votes than finalists in any other category, SAS Fair Banking helps financial institutions manage and improve the quality of their compliance data, thoroughly and concisely identify fair lending compliance exposures, know the implications of the data they are filing and its statistical significance, materiality, and root causes; and ease submission requirements related to Federal Regulations C and BB (Home Mortgage Disclosure and Community Reinvestment Acts).
