SAS provides enterprise intelligence support for HP Neoview

25 April 2007 -  SAS, the leader in business intelligence, today announced that the SAS® Enterprise Intelligence Platform, which includes data integration, intelligence storage, business intelligence and analytics software, has been validated on and will fully support  HP Neoview, an enterprise-class data warehousing platform. 

"HP and SAS have a natural fit when it comes to their technology offerings," said Claudia Imhoff, President of Intelligent Solutions, Inc. "The combination of HP Neoview's attractive price tag, impressive scalability and performance with the sophistication of SAS analytics is a compelling BI solution. Organisations now have the flexibility to not only select the data warehousing solution that is best for them, but know that they have a proven, integrated software platform for delivering enterprise intelligence that can run seamlessly alongside it."

Current BI infrastructures are a patchwork of hardware, software and storage that are growing ever more complex and costly to maintain.  The SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform running with the HP Neoview platform gives customers the tools needed to allow businesses to perform in-depth analyses of their data to identify important trends.  SAS will work closely with HP on joint marketing, sales and R&D initiatives to provide tighter integration and optimise performance of HP Neoview with SAS software and solutions including credit risk, fraud detection and strategic performance management, among others. 

"HP's move into the enterprise data warehouse space enables us to aggressively pursue an area of high-growth potential with a key partner," said Jim Davis, SAS Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.  "As the only HP partner to address the combination of data integration, intelligence storage, business intelligence and advanced analytics, SAS is uniquely capable of meeting the needs of customers wanting a single view of their business, while experiencing increasing demands for fast access, specialised reporting and near real-time analysis of information by many different types of users."

"Customers want to extract the maximum value from data in order to mitigate risk, lower cost and drive revenue growth," said Ben Barnes, vice president and general manager, Business Intelligence Group, HP Software.  "HP's strong relationship with SAS and the quality of our collective offering provides customers with end-to-end visibility of the entire enterprise, ultimately allowing for more confident decision-making and improved business outcomes."
