SAS GLOBAL FORUM, WASHINGTON (23 marzo
2009) – SAS, the leader in business
analytics software and services, honored three customers with the
Enterprise Excellence Award for effectively using SAS software to address
business challenges, empowering leaders to make confident, insightful
decisions. Poland’s PLAYMobile earned the User Feedback Award,
presented to the user making the greatest contribution to SAS products
over the year.
2009 SAS Enterprise Excellence Award winners:
-
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WI DOR) implemented
a department wide data warehouse using SAS Business Intelligence,
providing readily available and easily accessible data to help users
perform more efficiently. Transforming raw data into information
for expanding users groups, the solution facilitates back-end data
processing and end-user reporting. WI DOR's information resource
helps the entire organization comply with directives, initiatives
and legislative mandates.
-
FIDUCIA IT AG used SAS Financial Intelligence software
to develop a new performance management system that includes process
cost analysis, integrated company control, presentation of indicator
systems and financial indicator consolidation and planning. The result
is strategic corporate control, transparency across divisions and
consistent, reliable company-wide information.
-
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (the Group)
for using SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform as a basis for its
Financial Crimes Platform (FCP). The FCP allows the Group to bring
together data for the identification, analysis and prevention of
fraud as well as monitoring transactions to detect money laundering
and terrorist financing. The successes of the Financial Crimes
Platform saw the Group go on to adopt the SAS Enterprise Intelligence
Platform to centralize its discovery functions into a single platform,
centralizing its resources and data to allow greater and deeper
insights. The Group now has extended the FCP to include SAS Anti-Money
Laundering, making it the first Australian financial services institution
to incorporate anti-money laundering within a comprehensive financial
crime detection and prevention platform as a fully integrated component,
rather than install it as a stand-alone system.
2009 SAS User Feedback Award winner:
Jarosław Maj, Deputy IT Director
at PLAYMobile of Poland, worked with SAS R&D, Technical Support and
Product Management to improve the user interface of SAS Web Report Studio
and underlying technologies.
“The SAS User Feedback Award proves that SAS listens
to customer needs and feedback encompassing new ideas and specific, heterogeneous
BI architectures implemented worldwide,” said Maj.
Today’s announcement came at SAS
Global Forum, the largest annual SAS users group conference, attended
by more than 3,000 business and IT users of SAS software and solutions.
