In its annual Vendor Value Survey, CIO Insight asked nearly 900 IT executives to rank the perceived value of their vendors’ products and services, as well as their overall satisfaction with the support these vendors provide. SAS was the highest ranked business intelligence vendor, surpassing all competitors in such categories as:

• Meets expectations for increasing revenues.
• Solves the business problem paid to solve.
• Meets ROI expectations.
• Is flexible and responsive.
• Meets quality expectations.

DRIVE BETTER PERFORMANCE WITH SAS

In a business climate that punishes the inefficient and slow-moving, your enterprise is under extreme pressure to be faster and savvier than ever. To be more innovative and adaptable. Achieve more growth with fewer resources. Respond more quickly to changing markets. Deliver more competitive products and services.

To stay in the game and win, you need agile strategies, clear-sighted decision making and the ability to focus scarce resources in every area of your enterprise on the activities most likely to result in success.

SAS helps you achieve this level of performance. How? By delivering an integrated set of business intelligence software and services that enables you to not only navigate today’s challenges but also capitalise on tomorrow’s opportunities:

• The SAS® Enterprise Intelligence Platform
• SAS® Intelligence Solutions
• SAS® Industry Solutions

SAS gives you the power to access relevant, reliable, consistent information throughout the enterprise. The power to make the right decisions. The power to achieve sustainable, repeatable performance improvement… The Power to Know®.

DON’T JUST MANAGE PERFORMANCE

So how do SAS software and services all add up to drive better performance across your enterprise? Unlike other vendors, who often cobble together poorly integrated, shallow software components from acquisitions and alliances, SAS gives you everything you need to go from data to decisions.

Organisations that rely on software that fails to provide insights of sufficient depth and breadth are likely to find that:

• Executives cannot determine root causes of performance issues in time to take corrective action.
• Decision makers miss opportunities to gain competitive advantage because they are unable to extract valuable intelligence that is buried in the data.
• Precious time is wasted searching for information, and stretched IT departments struggle to keep up with frequent ad hoc report requests.
• Profits, growth and overall performance across the enterprise suffer due to a lack of alignment around critical objectives.
