A Message from SAS Canada

INSIGHTS was launched four years ago to keep our Canadian SAS® community informed. Today, as we launch the new design of insights to our community of more than 3,000 subscribers, that need is just as important. As usual Insights features the latest in techie tips (especially for getting the most out of SAS®9), profiles on SAS practitioners and SAS staff, news, and more. We’ve redesigned insights’ to make it easier to find what’s most important to you. Please feel free to send us an e-mail at Customer Value to let us know your thoughts on our new format.

The Customer Value Group at SAS is also celebrating a milestone, our fifth anniversary! While our mission continues to be the improvement of your SAS experience, the means is always changing. To the growing list of users groups (25 at last count), SAS Global Forum activities and other initiatives that we support, we look forward to expanding our activities with universities and colleges. Look for more excitement in this area as we move into the fall.

Speaking of SAS Global Forum, this year’s meeting in Orlando, Florida truly took the conference to new heights! During the Opening Session, the SAS Global Users Group Executive Board announced sasCommunity.org, a collaborative online SAS community for SAS users worldwide. This Web site provides a single entry point that any SAS user worldwide can go to in order to find any and all resources that might be of value. Also, at a special ceremony, Greg McLean of Statistics Canada was awarded the 2006 Customer Value Award. For more information, please go to our Techie Tips section. Finally, for Canadians at the conference, our annual SAS Canada event took place at the Adventurers Club in Downtown Disney. This event combined the uniqueness of the 1920s era club (full of the most unusual group of world travelers ever assembled) with an always-engaging and fun-loving Canadian crowd. Needless to say a good time was had by all!

We hope you enjoy insights’ new look and feel, and hope you have a terrific summer!

Regards,
Wally
