Solution Briefs

Using the huge information technology investments previously made, refining companies can achieve better ROI by finding ways to maximize the use of data. Improving profit margins in the highly competitive refining industry resides in the ability to create consistent, accurate forecasts of demand over time using analytics-based modeling.

The utilities industry has more available data for forecasting than ever before. Real-time weather feeds, near-real time customer consumption data, sensors on renewable assets, etc. This flood of data can be harnessed for powerful new insights that can dramatically improve operational efficiency. In addition, this data will offer utility forecasters many new opportunities to optimize resource allocations, predict future growth and provide deeper insights into the utility planning process. The ability to predict the volume, magnitude and location of demand – along with improved revenue projections – will bring significant financial rewards to companies that glean predictive insight from their data.

Using SAS for global price intelligence, you can simulate the effect of different choices, IRP rules, mandates and market changes on global revenue and profitability – at launch and across the entire product life cycle – and then optimize any launch simulation.

Find out how SAS helps CSPs anticipate and reduce churn, know the next best offer and enhance the customer experience across multiple channels.

With SAS, state governments can uncover fraudulent provider Medicaid claims and claims overpayment at the transaction or patient level, while uncovering fraud perpetrated by members of criminal networks. The SAS Advanced Analytics Lab for State and Local Governments solution addresses all aspects of the Medicaid program, including: eligibility and enrollment, managed care oversight, post-payment detection and recovery of improper payments, and pre-payment identification and prevention of improper claims.

SAS software helps US states support better population health, adopt new delivery models and boost programmatic performance for reduced Medicaid costs.

SAS helps states unify and understand their massive volumes of data so they can increase transparency and improve population health through better access to care, quality of care and cost control.  

SAS clearly understands the industry challenges around payment reform and offers the best solutions to help address them. Our solutions empower states to quickly analyze massive volumes of complex health data to understand the types of clinical episodes that different populations are having, as well as develop and manage appropriate value-based payment models and provide enhanced oversight of payment reform initiatives. 

Many people in the United States fail to receive necessary health care – especially those with complex care needs. While it’s easy to label these people as non-compliant or resistant to treatment (or simply unmotivated), research indicates that there are social determinants of health – such as socioeconomic status and housing status – that lead to people disengaging from care, resulting in poor health outcomes. This brochure explores how adopting a “whole person care” approach to health enables federal, state and local governments to have a more complete and accurate understanding of people’s needs (and barriers to care) – and empowers care providers to treat the whole person vastly for improved compliance and patient outcomes.

Accurately tie students academic growth to individual teachers with roster verification.  

While children continue to hone their reading skills after third grade, research confirms that reading proficiently by the end of third grade is a critical milestone for future success both in school and beyond. Struggling third-grade readers continue to struggle through high school – and are four times more likely not to graduate high school than peers who are competent readers. This paper examines how states passing legislation to improve literacy, many of which are based on recommendations made by the US Business Roundtable, can use integrated data management and analytics solutions to identify at-risk students, monitor the effectiveness of interventions, track individual student and school progress, provide valuable feedback to educators and more.

With the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states now have much more flexibility to develop performance goals, accountability systems and interventions for struggling P-12 schools. But programs and decisions must be data driven, assessments of student success must be accurate, and transparency is needed to drive continuous improvement. This solution brief explains how SAS® software meets these requirements by providing superior data integration, monitoring and advanced analytics; data correlations and visualizations; governance and more.　 Now you can ensure that the design your P-12 systems will get students career- and college-ready, track program and student success longitudinally, and make targeted improvements over time.

This solution brief discusses how few states can identify their best educator preparation programs (EPPs) and which need improvement, as determined by the student growth impact of their completers. Nor do they have insight into what makes some EPPs more effective than others. It then describes how SAS closes the loop between K-12 and EPPs by integrating a state’s massive data stores on student performance with EPP data on the state’s programs and completers. 

SAS can provide college athletic programs with a comprehensive analytics solution that includes a range of leading-edge data management, predictive analytics and data visualization capabilities.

Not all insurance agents play by the rules; some are gaming the system by misrepresenting or avoiding premiums, opportunistically trying to meet their next quota, or otherwise submitting fraudulent information. In an end-to-end process, SAS automation helps you better identify and review your brokers and agents and enable case management. We do this by combining accurate triage alerts to improve your true positive rate, based on a comprehensive view of your data and analytically derived scores.

To examine the exploration and exploitation projects in their current expenditure portfolios,companies must be able to quickly rescore internal rates of return while resetting underlying hydrocarbon reference pricing and assumptions based on development costs. This requires risk re-evaluations, improved risk controls and new risk management scenarios, all of which demand improved modeling capabilities. Production curve optimization is also necessary to ensure that maximum recovery is achieved for every well and reservoir.

Learn how to deploy a robust, transparent IFRS 9-Compliant process on a common analytics platform. 

The new US accounting standard for loss reserving – current expected credit loss (CECL) – greatly increases the complexity of the allowance estimation process and raises the overall loss reserve requirement, which will directly affect profitability and capital. Are you ready to comply? As explored in this solution brief, this will require integrating risk and finance; building, testing and managing new models; and managing complex data and model risk. SAS can help by providing an open, modular solution for CECL as part of an analytics platform that also supports other risk processes.
