SAS Affiliates are individual consultants, consulting organizations or single practice teams within a large firm, who invest in ensuring their SAS skills and knowledge are the latest and most up-to-date. SAS Affiliates are managed programmatically via the Alliance Program team and web support.
As with any business relationship, the Alliance seeks to partner with those organizations that present a strong market opportunity, a complementary or joint product, and services that support the market opportunity. We also recognize the rewards and benefits that are obtained by supporting firms that have made a commitment to building and maintaining their SAS knowledge and expertise in support of SAS software and their business. At this entry level in the Alliance, individuals/organizations primarily receive access to SAS software and technical support. SAS Affiliates may utilize SAS software ONLY for member's internal training requirements, development of applications, development of demos and prototypes, or development of reusable solutions. SAS Affiliates must demonstrate strong SAS skills/knowledge or receive training prior to receipt of SAS software.
SAS Affiliates are charged a participation fee for SAS Affiliate benefits.
Please review the SAS Alliance Program Guide (PDF: 757KB) for information on requirements and benefits of the Affiliate Partner.
Prospective partners who meet the requirements for a specific EMEA office, can join the SAS Alliance at the Affiliate level for a one-year probationary period. Partners must then qualify for Silver or Gold status level at their first renewal.
