2 WHAT WE OFFER
Our mission at SAS is to deliver superior software and services that empowers people with the
power to make the right decisions to improve profitability.
In today’s business scenario, global economies have been on a ride that has both challenged and
reaffirmed all notions about “business as usual”. Sure, the old rules of business still apply. Money
counts. Profitability matters. Customers are number one. Shareholders rule. Competitors are
hungry. Yet the game has drastically changed. Organizations today, have to continually find new
ways to survive and grow – to respond to constantly changing challenges with ingenuity and
agility. Companies once shielded by geography have awakened to find that competitors on the
other side of the globe can leap frog them.
In such a business climate that punishes the inefficient and slow-moving,enterprises are under extreme pressure to be
faster & savvier than ever to be more innovative and adaptable. Achieve more growth with fewer resources. Respond
more quickly to changing markets. Deliver more competitive products and services.
To succeed in today’s environment, organizations need agile strategies, clear-sighted decision making and the ability to
focus scarce resources on the activities most likely to result in success. Today organizations are taking a step further from
their existing EEP systems, transactional systems and other operational systems; to anticipate events and trends, predict
customer life cycles, manage churn, accurately forecast demand etc. Not surprisingly Indian organizations are embarking
on plans of evaluating Business Intelligence & Analytics solutions to increase their competitive advantage. As per some
recent research BI market in India is poised to grow at a rate of over 25%.
At SAS, our mission is to add value for our customers and be central to their success. Our proven software and services
help you do more with data than you ever thought possible. Across the enterprise, across industries and across the
globe, SAS gives our customers the power to make the right decisions and improve performance…
