SAS® is clear leader in advanced analytics marketSAS also leads in business intelligence software salesCARY, NC (Jun. 15, 2009) – Voting with their IT budgets, enterprises choose SAS Analytics more often than the combined 16 other analytics suppliers named in new industry research. SAS is the “overwhelming leader” in advanced analytics, according to the new global study of 2008 buying patterns from industry analyst firm IDC. “For the last three years in the BI tools market, the advanced analytics segment grew faster than the query, reporting and analysis segment,” said Dan Vesset, IDC Program Vice President for Business Analytics Research and co-author of the report.1 “We believe that this trend will continue even as economic conditions remain a challenge.” IDC’s Worldwide Business Intelligence Tools 2008 Vendor Shares 1 report also notes that SAS was No. 2 in the Business Intelligence tools segment and among the top five suppliers of query, reporting and analysis tools. “Basic query and reporting is necessary, but insufficient. Advanced analytics are required for continuous learning and improvement, leading to real insight and sustained competitive advantage in a tumultuous economic environment,” said Jim Davis, SAS Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. SAS offers targeted business solutions that deliver competitive insights that are often hidden in data. Organizations can then solve confidently complex business problems, reach evidence-based decisions, manage for performance, achieve measurable business objectives, drive sustainable growth through innovation, and anticipate and manage change. “Businesses, non-profits, government agencies and universities at more than 45,000 sites worldwide use SAS to deal with diverse issues, a wider range of regulations and heightened global competition. There has never been a greater need for proactive, evidence-based decisions and agile strategies. The provable value and sustained demand for our technologies and solutions is clearly validated by IDC’s research,” said Davis. 1.
