SAS Retains Dominant Leadership Position in Operational Risk Management Report for Fourth Consecutive Year
SAS® OpRisk Management capabilities recognized by Chartis Research global study

(April 16, 2008) – SAS, the leader in business intelligence, is again ranked as the leader in operational risk management by Chartis Research in its Operational Risk Management Systems 2008 report. Since 2005, Chartis has positioned SAS OpRisk Management in the top spot for “completeness of offering” and “market share potential.” SAS leads “a handful of software vendors [who] have established themselves as clear leaders and form the ‘premier league.’”

Chartis forecasts the worldwide operational risk management (ORM) market to grow to US$1.55 billion by 2011. The Chartis report is the most comprehensive independent study of the specialized ORM marketplace, looking at both the demand and supply sides of the market. It covers the main market and regulatory requirements as well the competitive landscape. The evaluation examined a vendor’s core functionality, data management capability, vendor characteristics, implementation process, user friendliness, complexity, customizability/flexibility and costs.

John Foulley, Asia Pacific Head of Risk Solutions says: “With 8 new operational risk customers in 6 Asian countries, SAS continues to demonstrate its leadership in the Operational Risk space and in the greater context of the Enterprise Risk Management solution providers”.

“Chartis' continued top ranking of SAS OpRisk Management underscores our commitment to provide world-class enterprise risk management (ERM) software and services,” said David Rogers, SAS’ Global Product Marketing Manager for Risk. “This is further evidence that organizations want a partner that will help them improve their operational risk management culture and efficiently collect, measure and report data across governance, risk and compliance (GRC) initiatives.”

SAS OpRisk Management is an end-to-end solution built on the industry-leading SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform. With powerful data management, analytics, and regulatory reporting and disclosure capabilities, SAS OpRisk Management helps institutions optimize capital allocation while mitigating risks in all areas of their organizations.
