SAS Ranks Near Top Of Gartner List For Enterprise BI Software

By Tracey E. Schelmetic, Editorial Director, Customer Interaction Solutions
Business Intelligence provider SAS today announced that Gartner has once again ranked them as the number two business intelligence vendor. Gartner's ranking is based on 2004 new license sales, with SAS coming in with 15.8 percent of the BI market share.


 
It is SAS's Enterprise BI Server, a primary component of its SAS 9 Intelligence Platform, that is the key push behind SAS' growth in the BI space. SAS has an impressive adoption record: 96 of the top 100 companies on the FORTUNE Global 500 are SAS customers. The goal of the SAS solution is to help companies develop more profitable relationships with customers and suppliers; to enable better, more accurate and informed decisions; and to drive organizations forward. Business intelligence helps companies take what is essentially large piles of junk data and turn them into valuable company capital.


 
Gartner's latest report in the BI field assesses worldwide growth of the BI market, which, according to the research firm, has increased 12 percent from just under $1.9 billion in 2003 to $2.1 billion in 2004.
 
"We believe the steady growth we have continued to see in the BI market reflects how trusted and valued SAS is to companies requiring a scalable and extensive BI platform," said Jim Davis, chief marketing officer at SAS. "SAS delivers more than just 'traditional BI' like query and reporting to provide a comprehensive selection of technologies ranging from data integration to storage to predictive analytics so that our customers can turn raw data into measurable results that impact their business' ROI. SAS is a solid and stable organization that invests heavily in R&D with a track record of nearly three decades of customer-driven growth."
