SAS Affiliates are individual consultants, consulting organizations or single-practice teams within a large firm who are willing to continuously update their SAS skills and knowledge through the SAS Alliance. SAS provides program management with additional infrastructure (such as Web) support to SAS Affiliates.
The SAS Alliance seeks to partner with organizations that present a strong market opportunity, a complementary or joint product, and services that support the market opportunity. At this entry level in the alliance, individuals/organizations primarily receive access to SAS software and technical support. SAS Affiliates may utilize SAS software ONLY for the member’s internal training requirements, development of applications, development of demos and prototypes, or the development of reusable solutions. SAS Affiliates must demonstrate strong SAS skills/knowledge, or receive training prior to receiving SAS software.
SAS and the prospective affiliate partner must jointly determine what level of investment is appropriate. The SAS Alliance is pleased to offer various investment levels to ensure alliance participation is available and mutually beneficial to all parties.
SAS Affiliates are charged a participation fee for SAS Affiliate benefits – see the requirements and benefits in the SAS Alliance Program Guide (PDF).
