Why did your organization choose SAS? What business problem were you trying to solve?
As an Achieving the Dream college, Reynolds needed to expand its data capacity to bring data "close to practice". We chose SAS because of its robust suite of solutions and strong technical support team.
How has SAS helped you to solve that problem?
In just two years, our college implemented over a dozen dashboards - four of which are open to all college employees. These dashboards help users understand enrollment patterns, academic performance outcomes, and forecast future enrollment patterns.
What products are you using and how are you using them?
SAS Visual Analytics, SAS Studio, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Office Analytics
What advice would you give to other new SAS users?
