Maximizing your investment in the SAS^® System...
...and those in your organization who use it.

CUSTOMIZED SAS SOFTWARE TRAINING SOLUTIONS

Selecting Sierra Information Services to develop and deliver customized SAS Software training solutions means your return on investment compares favorably to the costs often associated with sending multiple attendees to a public training session, or to having non-customized materials presented at your site.

Here's why:

• We never assign a "trainer" to deliver an "off the shelf" course. Instead, we work closely with you to understand your specific business and training needs. When feasible, we use data you provide for examples and hands-on assignments.
• The seminar materials are prepared by the instructor who presents them, ensuring that the instructor knows both the materials and your unique requirements for SAS training.
• Our instructors each have at least 20 years each of hand-on SAS experience, and combine their in-depth product knowledge with extensive "real world" experience applying it in many industry sectors.
• Our team includes instructors who are repeatedly chosen as Invited Speakers at SAS User Group meetings worldwide, who hold leadership roles in the user community and who have published texts through the SAS Press™ (formerly the SAS Books by Users™ program).
• Our instructors hold the SAS Certified Professional™ designation from SAS Institute, Inc.
• We can develop and present a wide array of classes, ranging from introductory sessions for new users to advanced classes on predictive modeling, applications development and programming efficiencies.
• Our materials develop the capabilities of your team to use those portions of the SAS System you specify to be covered during the seminar. Time is therefore not spent presenting irrelevant materials, or on sales pitches for yet-to-be-released or installed software.
• Classes written and delivered by Sierra teach attendees how to apply the power of the SAS System to their unique data structures and problems.
