These organisations join more than 9,600 other licensed sites that have already implemented SAS®9. This week SAS announced the launch of SAS Financial Intelligence, an advanced portfolio of software solutions for the SAS®9 platform that helps organisations achieve more predictive, accurate and timely results from their finance functions. By using SAS Financial Intelligence, the finance department can deliver a comprehensive perspective for performance management and transform itself into a confident, trusted adviser that supplies valuable intelligence to the entire enterprise."We believe these strong revenue results reflect a growing recognition that our SAS®9 solutions take customers well beyond the realm of traditional business intelligence and enable them to confidently and proactively drive revenue growth and profitability," said Dr. Jim Goodnight, CEO of SAS. "To make this possible, the SAS®9 Intelligence Platform provides a powerful foundation for a suite of solutions that supports performance management across the enterprise, something other vendors have failed to deliver." About SAS®9SAS®9 builds on SAS' 28 years of expertise in data management and analytics. With SAS®9, SAS has created a new intelligence platform that will help companies do more with the resources, data and systems that they already have, giving greater numbers of people within those companies access to the predictive analytics and data management capabilities of SAS. The powerful, integrated solutions on the new SAS®9 Intelligence Platform are helping to redefine performance management. Earlier this year, SAS launched SAS Marketing Automation, SAS Risk Dimensions, SAS Web Analytics, SAS Activity-Based Management and SAS IT Management Solutions.
