About This Book

The SAS Intelligence Platform provides a toolset that allows organizations to not only reach every organization level, but also to address their most critical business issues. There is a wealth of information freely available to users, everything from simple blog tips to in-depth user documentation. All of this information actually makes it more difficult for users to understand how to get the most power from the toolset, or even know where to start!

Our purpose is writing Building Business Intelligence with SAS®: Content Development Examples is to have a single quick-start guide that moves you quickly through each tool so you can learn the basics and then easily expand that knowledge with some intermediate and advanced techniques. We want to ensure that users understand how to get the most out of this software for their organization.
