SAS Offers Free Software To Help Prevent Business Analyst Shortage | WUNC

Category: Free Software

A Cary-based software company is offering a free service to university students and professors.

SAS Analytics U will allow them to use statistical tools to manage data, identify trends, and make decisions in their research and class work. Analytics U also allows them to share their work in online communities.

Education sales director Emily Baranello says the company's software is already useful to statistics majors, but she said they want to make more students familiar with it.

How can we affect it by getting into more of the undergraduate classes and making sure that we get this across multiple disciplines, so that if students graduate and go into one job area, want to move into another and work towards a different career, that they have some of that background earlier in their career? she said. We're trying to make statistics and analytics not scary to some of these folks.

SAS projects that by 2018, there will be a need for 1.5 million analysts and managers who can understand data and use it to make decisions.
