RE: what is diffrence between SAS tool and other tools...
 
hi everybody.

There is a lot of difference between SAS  and othere tools.

SAS is a tool which is a combination of three basic features.

1) It is a reporting tool.
2) It is a ETL tool and
3) It is also a forecasting tool.

whereas the tools other than SAS 
     
             - consists of the first feature. eg: BUSINESS OBJECTS, COGNOS.
             - or consists of the second feature.eg: INFORMATICA.
             - or consists of the first and second features. eg: BUSINESS OBJECTS.


No other tool has the power of forecasting feature. Hence SAS is used in mostly Clinical trials and healthcare industry.

Hope you are satisfied.

Bye.
