by Tricia Aanderud • June 19, 2017 • Comments Off

Oh Snap! Upload Data to the LASR Server Just Like That!

In a past life I worked at a company who had an excellent general manager, she was professional, intelligent, and a role model. It was a small company competing with giants and kicking their butt successfully. She set a new mission for the organization – we needed to not only meet a customer’s product needs but also delight them in the process. Its hard to …

This post I’m going to explore the principal purpose of each tool to help explain how they are alike and different.

What is SAS Enterprise Guide?

SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) is a development …

Hit Your IT Knowledge Targets!

by Guest Post • June 30, 2015 • Comments Off

What I love most about the SAS community is the willingness to share information. I asked Tom Karl – how do you stay current with the complete deluge of new tools (Hadoop, Spark) and methods that are streaming toward you all the time. He offered some advice and then I strong-armed (playground technique!) him into writing a blog post! And yes Tom – you are invited …

When you are on a project with me, you’ll grow weary of hearing me say “Can you draw it?” Something magical happens for me when I see a flow or see an idea.

Building a SAS Stored Process Log

by Quentin McMullen • February 24, 2014 • Comments Off

As a SAS stored process developer, a question sometimes pokes its way into my head: “Are people using the stored processes I write?” In fact, really I have four questions:

What stored processes are being used?
Who is using them?
When are they being used?
