Big Analytics Partnership: SAS + SAP

Back in Sept I recommended that ALIF should develop strategic alliances with companies like SAP, the large German software company that specializes in business-management applications.

Well, this past week SAP announced it entered into a partnership with US-based SAS, the largest US privately held software company that specializes in big data analytics software, the same type of intelligent analytics that ALIF produces. The SAP-SAS partnership will create a new interface to enable SAS analytic applications to run on the SAP HANA platform. The partnership will create new big data solutions that could not previously be delivered.

This partnership between two software giants sheds light on the exploding importance of intelligent analytics and the opportunities open to ALIF.
