Benefits of SAS Office Analytics for Midsize Business

Get a single, consistent view of data.

Access and consolidate data from different operational systems to get a unified view of current information. Instead of building your own data extracts, you can take the most recent data from operational systems and populate Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint files, as well as SharePoint portals – different versions of the same report will be a thing of the past.

Make business users self-sufficient.

By taking advantage of SAS Analytics directly from familiar Microsoft Office applications, business users can get predictive insights rather than just summaries and basic graphs. They'll be confident that they're using the most up-to-date information for accurate analysis, while eliminating problems associated with intermediate summarized data formats.

Get faster, better results – easily.

An intuitive query interface lets you access large amounts of data and view results directly in Excel. Guided analysis enables you to analyze data, schedule projects, share results and embed them into Office applications.

Free IT for more strategic tasks.

Centralized data access and control ensures that users have appropriate access privileges and can react quickly to business demands. This frees IT from tedious maintenance and ad hoc query and reporting tasks.

Support compliance regulations.

Produce repeatable results using validated data and pro­cesses that are easy to document and verify for corporate and govern­mental compliance. Imagine the time savings – no more tracking down which report is the correct one.
