Disability rights groups are using the court system to exact change. As a result, the enforcement of Section 508 and similar laws around the world has become a priority. When you generate SAS® output, you need to protect your organization from litigation.

It also provides recommendations and code samples that are aligned with the accessibility standards defined by Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0).

Whether it is a question of security or a question of centralizing the SAS® installation to a server, the need to phase out SAS in the PC environment has never been so common. On the surface, this type of migration seems very simple and smooth. However, migrating SAS from a PC environment to a SAS server environment (SAS® Enterprise Guide®) is really easy to underestimate. This paper presents a way to set up the winning conditions to achieve this goal without falling into the common traps. Based on a successful conversion with a previous employer, I have identified a high-level roadmap with specific objectives that will guide people in this important task.
