SAS, COMSYS ink reseller agreementLaunch pilot for the Value Added Channel Partner ProgramCARY, N.C. and CHICAGO (June 14, 2005) – To address the growing demand for SAS® business intelligence (BI) software and services, SAS today announced a pilot program that will allow its alliance partners to resell SAS BI software. Through this pilot for the Value Added Channel Partner Program, SAS will implement and test a channel sales program with one trusted alliance partner, COMSYS Information Technology Services, prior to the program’s full deployment. With a mutually agreed upon set of parameters, the pilot program will increase SAS’ market penetration by authorizing COMSYS to resell the most extensive analytic business intelligence software on the market. “SAS’ business intelligence software provides accurate, reliable and easy access to predictive information, so our clients can make informed business decisions and not have to rely on reporting tools that look only at historical data,” said Bridgette Chambers, managing director for COMSYS’ National SAS and BI practices. “Because SAS is such a valued and trusted name, the SAS BI package is something our sales teams are eager to share with new clients.” “This pilot program represents a logical expansion of the very strong SAS direct sales force,” said Don McDougall, vice president, Customer Solutions & Alliances Division at SAS. “COMSYS has been a SAS Gold Alliance partner for many years, previously as Venturi Technology Partners and Trilogy Consulting. It has a proven track record in generating leads and revenue for SAS. COMSYS also maintains a large SAS and BI-focused sales force with the expertise and resources to implement a wide variety of SAS solutions.” The pilot program went live on May 5 and has already created significant interest in the media and communication, and health and life sciences industries.
