SAS Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data automates the extraction of useful information from large volumes of clickstream data collected in Web logs.

SAS® Data Surveyor for Salesforce.com

SAS 9.2 includes a new data surveyor that gives you access to data from Salesforce.com customer relationship management (CRM) software. This data surveyor is provided through a partnership with Composite Software. The new Composite Software functionality is also incorporated into data surveyors for other CRM and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems including PeopleSoft, Oracle Applications, and Siebel.

In previous releases, SAS integrated data from these systems by accessing the underlying database with SAS/ACCESS software. The new data surveyors in this release use the vendor API and certified interfaces, and they comply with the security of the application.
