March 2008 SAS In-Database Processing with Teradata: An Overview of Foundation Technology (PDF)
This paper outlines how the partnership between SAS and Teradata addresses challenges in data analysis by moving analytic tasks closer to the data and improving the integration between SAS®9 and the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) from Teradata. Performing these tasks inside Teradata will significantly reduce bottlenecks that result from moving data over a network. Customers can also tap the respective strengths of SAS and Teradata technologies.

October 2007 SAS In-Database Processing: A Roadmap for Deeper Technical Integration with Database Management Systems (PDF)
This paper describes a roadmap for enhanced partnership and deeper technical integration with database management systems (DBMS) providers that will allow SAS analytics and data transformation capabilities to be leveraged at the point of transaction rather than the typical extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes in use today. The SAS In-Database technology, which allows SAS code to reside and execute inside a DBMS, streamlines the model management and scoring process from months to hours.
