The programme is something that, as a long-term partner of SAS, we are very excited to see come to fruition. The fact that SAS has launched the programme means that, as a vendor, SAS listens to the needs of its partners.
"As a member of the programme, Sasuka brings the full functionality of SAS's leading BI, including data integration and analytics applications to the broader South African marketplace," he adds.
