The award was presented to Business & Decision at the recent SAS Forum International which took place in Lisbon on 21-23 June 2005, and was attended by more than 2,600 delegates. Every year SAS recognises partners that have developed strong expertise in SAS solutions and have been successful in winning and delivering the value proposition of SAS to clients.

Business & Decision developed a close relationship with SAS in Benelux and established dedicated centres of competences in Risk Management and Marketing Automation. Major projects in the financial industry were secured and successfully implemented.

Through its offices in France, Benelux, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the Business & Decision Group employs over 100 consultants and experts in SAS technologies.

"The vertical solutions developed by SAS have very interesting specific applications such as risk management, finance, fraud and customer relationship management”, comments Ada Sekirin, Director at Business & Decision. “By combining the SAS analytical platform with the functional and technical expertise of our consultants as well as exploiting our successful partnership with SAS, the Business & Decision Group has built solid competencies in risk management and Basel II compliance.”

At SAS Forum International, Mike Hamm, Head of Channels and Alliances at SAS EMEA commented “The excellent joint work between Business & Decision and SAS in Benelux has promoted innovative solutions specifically for customers from the financial sector such as Fortis Bank. By taking advantage of the Best Practices in Benelux we can expand our successful cooperation in other countries for the benefit of both organisations and our international client community”.
