SAS tested the new application with an Asia
Pacific-based bank with more than 100,000 scenarios analysed in
less than 30 minutes, calculating on-demand, intra-day portfolio
risk. 

In early October, rival Oracle announced the
release of its own in-memory server for business intelligence.

In a separate announcement at PBLS Florida,
SAS announced upgrades to its SAS Conversation Center, a key
application of SAS social media analytics on twitter.

The software helps firms to engage with
customers on twitter by capturing significant tweets in real time,
analysing them and routing them to the right department within an
organisation to respond.

Wilson Raj, SAS global product marketing
principal for customer intelligence, said:

“Brand loyalty soars when a company gets
customer engagement right.”
