As business intelligence strategies and tools continue to be adopted by mainstream organizations, Claraview has seen an increased interest in the capabilities in which SAS excels, including statistical analysis and predictive analytics. The partnership provides Claraview with an expanded toolset of advanced analytics that it can offer to its clients and gives SAS access to Claraview's business intelligence strategy expertise and mid-market resources.

"We are excited to join the SAS alliance," said Eric Driscoll, Claraview's Chief Operating Officer. "We expect the partnership to benefit our clients and prospects by increasing our ability to advise on and implement SAS business intelligence tools."

As a SAS reseller, Claraview will have SAS-trained and SAS-certified resources to advise on, resell, and implement the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform, which includes data integration, business intelligence and analytics. SAS will provide technical support to ensure an ideal customer experience. In addition, the companies will engage in marketing activities to drive greater awareness of SAS software and Claraview services.

"We see Claraview as an important addition to our network," said Jack Duncan, Director of SAS Channel Sales. "It is an example of a partner, who can both resell our technology and improve our competitive position by identifying opportunities early on through its strategic engagements. We are also very interested in its experience in the successful delivery of large-scale BI projects."
