"SAS Enterprise Miner gave us a greater understanding of customer motivations. We can now fully exploit the data regarding our customers' buying patterns and behavior."

Joseph de Brouwer, Commercial Analysis Manager at Fortis Bank

"SAS ETL made us move towards a better organisation and structure of our datawarehouse. Where we were depending on complex and huge transfer programs, we now take the road to transparancy and manageability. With SAS ETL, we now possess the power to move and transfer data from our production warehouse environment to our analysis set-up, in a very efficient, more flexible and faster way, in addition to strengthening controls. Our 'Time to Citizen' will surely improve significantly."

Luc Billion, ICT Manager at Federal Public Service Public Health

"We were already acquainted with SAS and its business reporting tools. Its reputation as a reliable IT partner is well-known in the mobile communication industry. Belgacom is very active in this domain. Not only do SAS solutions do the reporting, they also conduct data gathering and mining. Both of these aspects were essential for the capacity reporting application we envisioned. Our decision to go with SAS was simply the most logical thing to do."

Jan Van de Gucht, IT Manager at Belgacom

"Proximus used SAS® Application Development Studio to develp RADAR, an intranet-based reporting framework that turns raw (mobile) networkdata into crystal-clear reports. We can now easily followup on key performance indicators of our network and instantly identify performance degradation."

Marc Matthys, IT Infrastructure Engineering & Capacity Planning Manager at Proximus

"The reusability of reports, analysis results, and models has also been greatly improved in SAS 9 Enterprise BI server, which includes the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office which enables people to reuse functions written by others in SAS by simply adapting them in Microsoft Excel and Word. An immediate benefit is that the IT department will be come more productive since a larger number of employees can produce informative and attractive reports without any SAS background.
Not only does this free up time for us to focus on maintenance and other business-critical IT systems, it also reduces the IT cost ofnew developments. Since developing new applications now demands fewer person-days, we can accomplish much more with the same resources."
