Business Challenge:
SAS, a global leader business analytics, wanted to expand its SAS for Sustainability Management software capabilities yet get their product to market quickly. SAS’ software helps users measure, manage and report on key environmental indicators and identify strategies that reduce risk and increase shareholder value. Specifically, SAS wanted to offer customers highly accurate and relevant data on energy and emissions at a detailed level that was location-specific or activity-specific. This granular information is used to drive robust calculation and modeling processes to deliver the quality of analytics for which SAS is renowned over the past 35 years. Therefore, ensuring accuracy of information and calculations with robust, scalable technology is critical.
Solution:
SAS integrated AMEEconnect into the SAS Energy & Emissions Management product to automate access to content in AMEE. AMEE’s solution provides SAS and its customers with continuously updated, always accurate emissions factors for a wide range of consumption activities. AMEE’s engineering and science teams worked closely with SAS to quickly execute the integration and ensure accurate mapping of SAS’ requirements to data in AMEE. See SAS press release here.
