Microsoft Office Integration

SAS Enterprise BI Server provides seamless integration with Microsoft Office, making it simple for business users to access data, perform queries and analysis and create reports.

And, with integrated technologies including data access, data quality and a common metadata layer, SAS ensures that large volumes of raw data are converted to accurate data for analysis and reporting. This allows the implementation of consistent business analysis standards within the company, while making enterprise data from multiple platforms easily available to business users from familiar Microsoft Office environments.

Business users can leverage the power of SAS directly from Microsoft Office and after arriving at the desired results they can easily distribute the Office documents to relevant decision makers using native Microsoft Office functionality.

Microsoft Office integration is provided through SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office.
