SAS Learning Edition Brings Power of Data Analytics to Wider Business

CARY, NC (Dec. 06, 2006) - Modern society is awash in data.

As companies recognize the competitive advantage and strategic importance of these technologies, the need for talented people capable of leveraging world-class BI systems has never been clearer. To help meet this need and introduce new audiences to the power of data analytics, SAS-the leader in BI-has released the latest and expanded version of SAS Learning Edition.
