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.
Users of the SAS Business Intelligence or SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence toolsets from all experience levels will find this book useful. In each chapter, there is a tool overview, a step-by-step process for creating output, tips and tricks from tool experts, and ways to enhance the output. At the end of each chapter, you will learn some tool administration information to round out your tool knowledge.
If you are studying for the Business Intelligence Content Developer certification, you will find this book to be a valuable study resource.
You do not need any previous experience with the toolset or SAS to use this book. If you have prior coding experience, you might find the stored process chapter easier to understand.
