3 Customers awarded with the SAS Intelligence Awards
During the Forum, SAS awarded 3 customers for their strategic
and innovative projects realised with SAS solutions. The 3
awards are Enterprise Business Intelligence Award, Business
Analytics Award and Business Solutions Award.
SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence
Award: FPS Public Health
Evolving towards a more efficient organisation, the
FPS has made significant efforts toward defining its
new architecture platform, and has chosen SAS as a strategic
partner for its organisation-wide business intelligence
standard. Gradually moving towards a business intelligence
competence centre concept and structure, the organisation
is using SAS® solutions for business intelligence
and is implementing (among others) SAS ETL to become
more streamlined, efficient and timely in providing
information to both its internal and external clients
and suppliers.
In the
past, they spent 95% of their time collecting the data
and preparing it for interpretation. With the new SAS
platform, this has been reduced to 25%. They can now
spend the remaining 75% on analyzing the information. The FPS Public Health uses SAS to help them collect,
store and analyse medical data from more than 200 hospitals,
group practices and physiotherapists. The standard and
dynamic reports generated with this information help
the FPS to determine correct hospital funding. Thanks
to the SAS BI Platform, they can now quickly and easily
simulate parameters to test changes before putting them
into effect. They can benchmark the performance of hospitals
to mean values and retrieve information for formulating
specific policy recommendations. This also allows them
to identify problems and inform the government about
them.
SAS Business Analytics Award:AXA Bank
Risk is a key parameter associated with granting credit.
It is also an issue recently addressed by Basel II regulations.
Seen by many as a constraint, AXA Bank understood from
the start that these new rules could also generate business
opportunities. With the help of the SAS Credit Risk
Management solution, AXA Bank has greatly improved its
risk management and optimized its workflow. Credit related
decisions are now more decentralized. And the bank has
a much better overall knowledge of its customers and
portfolios.
SAS Business Solutions Award:Deceuninck
In an increasingly complex business environment, traditional
“costing methods” are not sufficient anymore.
That’s why Deceuninck already started introducing
Activity-Based Costing back in 1995 to get to know the
real costs of products, supply-chain processes, …
Today, all important management decisions concerning
products, processes, customers, … are taken after
thorough analysis with the SAS ABC/ABM model, to understand
the impact on the bottom-line. Deceuninck evolved into
an organization where Activity-Based Management is completely
integrated in management’s thinking and decision
making.
