SAS, last week announced new, enhanced versions of three of its suite of performance management solutions: SAS Financial Management, SAS Human Capital Management and SAS Strategic Performance Management.
The latest version of SAS Financial Management is designed to improve the accuracy, relevance and timeliness of financial plans, budgets and reports while promoting the alignment and execution of strategy. With SAS' patented calculation engine, the software giant says that financial reports in the latest release are even more quickly updated, and data entry is much faster.
Enhanced SAS Human Capital Management is designed to align human capital strategies. SAS says it offers a consistent human capital data model designed for workforce analysis, integrating third-party data such as benchmarks with employee data from ERP and transactional systems. This single source for analysis of employee competency, skills and education helps employers identify gaps in their workforce, says SAS.
Commenting on the release, Clark C. Collins, Human Resource IRM Advisor at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said, "SAS Human Capital Management is critical to our organisation. With 10,000 employees spread out through the contiguous western United States , SAS integrates and analyses disparate data sources to give management a comprehensive view of the work, knowledge and capabilities of our entire work force.
With the latest update to SAS strategic Management, SAS says that customers can now create and maintain large-scale scorecard applications with a fraction of the previous effort. Its new batch facility allows users to more quickly create new models and update existing ones.
