Dirk Van Gijseghem, Afdelingshoofd Monitoring en Studie (Head of Monitoring and Study Department), accepted the award. SAS Analytic Intelligence Award: European Commission – Eurostat (Unit B1: IT systems for statistical production) Eurostat processes and publishes statistical information, based on the data collected by the authorities in Member States. A large majority of these statistics is received as estimates (macro-data), with few micro-data collections, mostly in social statistics. For almost each of these, ad-hoc applications were independent-ly developed using SAS. Recently Eurostat started the CVD (Cycle de Vie des Données = Data Life Cycle) initiative to rationalize existing systems and create a new IT architecture, based on the assumption that basically all data have the same life cycle. The initial phase of the project is finished and GSAST is handling the first two micro-data collections in the field of education statistics. Mr. Antonio Consoli, SAS Project Manager, and Mr. Pál T. Jancsók, SAS Project Officer, Eurostat, unit B1 accepted the award. SAS Business Solutions Award: ING Belgium To optimize customer contacts in a multi-channel environment, ING selected SAS® Customer Intelligence to help them perform profitable marketing campaigns and optimize their ROI. To make sure they provide the right customers with the right information at the right time, ING Retail Banking Belgium wants to execute more effective campaigns while increasing their efficiency through the use of repeatable, automated processes. They want to optimize the targeting process by better using the deep understanding of their customers’ behavior and customer segments through rich analytics. SAS® Customer Intelligence will help ING realize these goals. The award was handed over to Mr. Philippe Wallez, Marketing Director ING South West Europe. Best Paper Award Eurocontrol, Forecast Server: Making the Most of European Flight Forecasts During the Forum the attendees could rate every presentation. The presentation with the highest score was the one from Eurocontrol, presented by Dr. David Marsh, Manager, Statistics and Forecasts who explained how Eurocontrol uses SAS to forecast growth in air traffic, while maintaining a high level of safety, reducing costs, and respecting the environment.

The achievement of this objective is a key element to the present and future challenges facing the aviation community. Over SAS |
