Version 2.1
of the Institute's Enterprise Market Automation solution is currently under
development. Delivery in the near future. This release extends the
capabilities of the institute's offering from purely analytical to
applied analytics by including campaign management capabilities, data warehousing
capabilities, and integrating the technologies with
Enterprise Miner.

We had 2 major pushes underway with this release. One to fully enable
our graphics server technology. In order to do this developed an XML
chart standard and enhanced our visualization components and server side
graphics generation technology to generate and consume this XML
definition. Made this a defining standard for both ActiveX, Java,
and server side rendered graphics.
-
-
Our second initiative was to take the interactive components we had
released experimental with V7 and integrate them into 2 of the
institute's newest offerings.... a windows client centric reporting
product and a windows centric SAS development environment (Enterprise
Guide).. SUGI paper with illustrations "Enterprise
Guide (white paper)"
At the conclusion of this release we had achieved our goal of deeply
entrenching the SAS/GRAPH product as a core architecture in both the
mature server side graphic arena, the server side web graphics arena and
the emerging client side interactive graphics application arena.
The following SUGI25 paper by a member of my team covers several
products utilizing a small portion of our interactive
graphics technologies "Graphs-in-a-Minute"
-
In the area of SAS/GIS we web enabled the current product, but diverted
most of resources away from visualization and shifted our focus toward
understanding, handling, and analyzing spatial data.

- Significant completion bonus for bring this release in on time
with tested features. This was a strategic release for the
institute. Development spent a great deal of effort reworking the
underlying architecture to remove limitations that were tied to many
years old technology... such as 8 character limits on names. We also
primed the core components for moving to a multithreaded and DBCS
architecture by reworking the resource tracking strategy and string
handling.
-
- In addition to these global initiatives we saw the
opportunity in our area to position our traditionally batch oriented
graphics capabilities in a new light as a graphics web server. We
had a good foundation of portable server side technology which
already produced GIF files. We went back into this area and beefed
it up with more 3D business graphs to complement the 3D analytic
graphics which the product already had. And added the ability to generate
web charts with data driven image maps so that customers could drill
into a bar and see related information.
Although not a major publicized event... shipped an experimental
release of the ActiveX graphics controls. This
made them
available to internal application writers via Javascript, C++, and SAS
language interfaces..
