Well the New Zealand SAS User group (SUNZ) is over for another year, with over 250 people attending last Thursday.
The presentations will be up soonish, but mine is up early here “Delivering Data Quality in the Real Word – A case study using SAS Dataflux”
The main theme I got from the conference was the move in topics from accessing and managing data in previous years to the concept of Business Analytics, which is obviously a theme that is being replicated world wide.
One of scariest presentations was from Sue at New Zealand post about their Genius system (they have actually made sas.com fame! @ New Zealand Post works with SAS® to create Genius™). Its scary because they can derive so much insight about a person and their expected behaviour from all the information they have access to (and of course the power of SAS).
Just lucky they don’t have access to internal Google, Facebook or Twitter data I suppose!
Ill let you know when all the preso’s are up on slideshare.
