More than just after-the-fact reporting, business analytics software from SAS delivers insight, understanding and the ability to anticipate and even predict the future. The company’s solutions have been adopted by all fifteen U.S. executive branch departments and all 50 state governments.

As a Silver Alliance partner with SAS, we use our leadership in information management to help clients capitalize on their industry-leading technology in two strategically important ways:

• As an authorized SAS reseller, Agilex provides end-to-end implementation support for complete SAS systems, including integration of required data sources and development of the underlying data warehouse
• We also use SAS technology in conjunction with our own software and unique intellectual property to develop customized analytical solutions for our client’s most vexing challenges.

World-class SAS Resources

Our in-house statisticians and data architects work extensively with SAS technology to provide clients with the insight and reporting that they require, including:

• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – Based on a thorough review of both operations and requirements, we identify the principal KPIs required by managers
• OLAP (On-Line Analytic Processing) Tools - Multi-dimensional data analysis using “drag and drop” tools
• Dashboards – Our user-configured reporting dashboards are accessible from multiple platforms and are used to continually update operational performance
• Predictive Modeling – Through the development of statistical models for determining the likely outcome of a specific set of conditions, quantifiable business rules can be developed and implemented
• Forecasting – Customizable algorithms are used to project anticipated outcomes of various scenarios
• Segmentation – Populations are separated into distinct groups with similar attributes and behavior
• Workflow and Management Tools - Operational frameworks for leveraging analytics and insight are developed to improve business performance
• Information Portals – Centralized, shared portals consolidate information and analysis to improve collaboration and productivity

Utilizing our extensive background with leading database platforms, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, we help SAS users develop and manage their data warehouses as well. We also offer significant expertise in the use of SAS’ data integration and ETL products as well as those of other third-party vendors. Using these skills, we can automate significant aspects of the data warehouse to minimize latency and lower operating costs.

Using a variety of proven techniques, such as master data management and data modeling, we also help clients maintain required data quality and integrity. In addition, we provide significant thought leadership in the area of Information Security & Assurance so that clients can leverage data without compromising it.
