Applications Development Methodology

Using SAS Tools to Develop Applications

The first step in building SAS applications is to determine the tool that is most appropriate for your situation.

You can use SAS/EIS software

when you need an easy facility for developing code-free, user-friendly prototypes
to develop an enterprise information system (EIS) that can use ready-made business reporting objects.

You can use SAS/AF software

to extend the functionality of another SAS software product, including SAS/EIS software
to develop an enterprise-wide application that may involve custom components and programming.
