After a half-dozen lean years, many IT organizations have smaller budgets and staffs than ever, yet demands for new business applications and network processing continue to expand.
For a growing number of organizations, the answer has been to outsource business functions
to an application service provider (ASP). Application hosting brings state-of-the-art
applications to companies that prefer to have them managed by subject matter experts.
Five years ago, SAS responded to this market need by offering SAS IntelliVisor, a hosted
solution for Web analytics. Under this model, companies transmit their data to SAS for
analysis; the next day they receive reports that help them optimize their Web business.
This service has been so well received that the program grew into a far more comprehensive
offering – not just an outsourced application, but a unified, three-part offering that combines
solution development, hosting infrastructure and customer liaison.
With SAS Solutions OnDemand, companies get a highly-leveraged business intelligence
solution that is:
- Based on the industry’s leading business intelligence analytics.
- Created by the experts who know these tools best.
- Deployed on shareable and scalable infrastructure that has been tuned specifically
for the solution at hand.

In 2005, the program received some powerful validation from external auditors.
Deloitte Consulting said that the SAS Solutions OnDemand service-delivery methodology
was an "optimal, repeatable and scalable process" that aligned very closely with
Deloitte’s own
"Proven Approach Model" of best practices.
Ernst & Young LLP performed SAS 70 Type II and Systrust examinations of SAS Solutions
OnDemand network systems and granted an “unqualified opinion” and “assurance report” on
SAS performance on these audit standards. SAS 70 and Systrust certification demonstrates
that SAS has in place the processes and controls to preserve the integrity and confidentiality
of its hosted solutions.
SAS Solutions OnDemand offers repeatability,
low risk, and fast "time to solution" with minimal investment – plus a comprehensive
solution development and deployment program. Add to that written guarantees of solution and system availability,
and SAS Solutions OnDemand is clearly a very intelligent way to meet your organization’s business intelligence needs.
