 SAS Training has been hard at work revising Enterprise Guide courses to reflect Version 4. We talked with veteran instructor Andy Ravenna about the impact this new version has had on the Advanced Querying Using SAS Enterprise Guide course. Andy has been with SAS for 16 years. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in applied mathematics (minor in statistics) from North Carolina State University, the university where SAS was born. While at N.C. State, he received the Maltbie Award for Superior Teaching Ability. Since joining SAS' Education Division, Andy has helped to revise several courses and is currently the lead course developer for the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office component of the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform.

 A recent study designed by Robert Half Technology, a leading IT placement agency, revealed that training is the number one tool companies are using to retain IT talent. The poll was conducted by an independent research firm and surveyed nearly 1500 CIOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 100 or more employees. When asked what steps they were taking to retain IT talent within their firms, 63 percent of CIOs surveyed responded that they were using training and career development. Training as a retention tool ranked higher than flexible schedules, bonuses and other monetary compensation.
The study confirms what software training providers like SAS have known for years -- training is as important to employers as it is to employees. "Studies such as this highlight the importance of training to the full business spectrum," says Vice President of Education Herbert Kirk. "Employees want and need ongoing technical training; their employers are providing it and reaping the benefits in improved performance and higher retention rates."

 SAS Publishing announces the newest addition to the Wiley's SAS Business Series, Business Intelligence Competency Center: A Team Approach to Maximizing Competitive Advantage . This book was written for anyone interested in understanding Business Intelligence Competency Centers (BICC), cross-functional teams with defined roles, responsibilities, and processes tasked with supporting and promoting the effective use of Business Intelligence throughout the organization. This book covers the process of planning, setting up and running a BICC while also exploring the benefits and potential pitfalls, and reviewing best practices.
In review of the book, Bill Sturman, information architecture project manager at The Open University, United Kingdom, states, "The knowledge assets of an organization are becoming increasingly important for competitive advantage, and therefore, the way in which knowledge is created, renewed, and communicated is critical. This book provides practical insights into how this may be achieved through the establishment of a Business Intelligence Competency Centre and is a valuable read for information professionals."
