SAS Welcomes New State Manager for Western Australia  

SYDNEY, Australia  (28 Mar 2006)  –  SAS Institute Australia Pty Ltd has announced the appointment of Tim Sinnaeve as State Manager for SAS Western Australia.

SAS has had a presence in WA for nearly fifteen years, and is looking to expand its operations. Based in the Perth office, Sinnaeve is responsible for building on previous successes and further growing SAS’s profile in the WA market.

"Western Australia is a specialised market, in many ways separate and distinct from the rest of the Australian market," said Sinnaeve. "Consequently, we will be executing strategies specifically developed for WA."

Commenting on the new appointment, Managing Director Gordon Clubb said, "Tim’s business development record has been terrific and we are confident that he will bring the same success to the expansion of SAS in WA."

Sinnaeve joins SAS from ACL Services Ltd., where he was instrumental in growing the EMEA and Asia Pacific operations in his six years with the company. Prior to ACL Services, Sinnaeve was the International Sales Manager for the Televic Group.

SAS already has a successful track record in the WA market with companies such as HBF and BankWest. HBF is WA’s largest provider of health insurance with approximately 65 per cent marketshare. BankWest, one of Australia’s most innovative banks, is leveraging the SAS Credit Risk Management solution to attain the advanced level of Basel II accreditation. Some of SAS WA’s other customers include the WA Police Department and the Department of Health.
