The forum offers extensive opportunities for SAS users to learn new programming techniques and for sharing ideas to maximize the benefits of SAS in their environments. Additionally, the forum offers a wealth of information and case studies which illustrate to key IT and business stakeholders how SAS has been used to enhance operations and performance of organizations similar to theirs.
Erfan Pirbhai, Managing Director of COMSYS' Business Analytics Practice, said, "As a long-standing partner with SAS, COMSYS Business Analytics continues to provide our customers with value, quality and a diverse solution set for their SAS investment. Despite the recent economic challenges, we recognize the importance of on-going support of SAS Global Forum and the local community. This year, COMSYS has announced our Gold Level Sponsorship of the conference and our financial support to our charity partner, DC Central Kitchen. We look forward to continuing our leadership in the SAS community."
"COMSYS is an important member of the SAS Global Alliance," said Phil Sampson, Manager, SAS Global Partner Development. "We appreciate their Gold Level Sponsorship of SGF and we are grateful for the continued value that COMSYS delivers to our customers."
As a part of its sponsorship, COMSYS will be making a contribution to the DC Central Kitchen for every person visiting its booth at the SAS Global Forum. DC Central Kitchen is a non-profit organization that recycles over one ton of surplus food each day that would otherwise go to waste and turns it into 4,000 meals for the hungry in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.
