How SAS® Is Different

SAS offers human capital intelligence beyond what competitors provide – for a broader and deeper analysis so you can:
  • Integrate data from multiple systems containing relevant employee and third party data.
  • Unlock human capital data in SAP systems with Human Capital Management Adapter for SAP.
  • Create enterprise intelligence on a single platform for tremendous ETL efficiency.
  • Employ workforce-specific analytics for deeper insight.
  • Plan for future needs, generate accurate forecasts and perform what-if analyses.
  • Integrate data with performance management applications, including talent scorecarding (with strategy maps) and human capital budgeting and planning.
  • Synchronize financial and operational strategies.

Benefits

  • Measure and improve workforce productivity. With more than 250 prepackaged metrics plus the option for users to create their own, SAS Human Capital Management makes measuring and analyzing key indicators straightforward. A built-in viewer provides a simple way to see the status of key metrics, such as revenue per employee, relative to goals.
  • Minimize risk by changing likely outcomes. SAS Human Capital Management provides advanced analytics and easy-to-use interfaces so business users can identify and minimize risks by predicting workforce changes and analyzing associated costs. Forecasting or analytic expertise is not needed.
  • Proactively plan for future workforce needs. Using pre-defined analytics, such as Organization Analysis, SAS delivers analytic insight visually to users. It displays organizational hierarchies in a list of graphical views while surfacing critical data about the work force. While showing virtually any statistic about the employee population, the solution simulates organizational structure changes for workforce planning and modeling by moving groups or people to see the effect.
  • Support enterprise performance improvement. SAS solutions are built on a single platform so they can quickly integrate and align human capital strategies and improvement efforts with organizational goals. The result is a comprehensive view of enterprise performance.
