Dear Readers,

Many of you took part in the survey we sent out earlier this month, and I want to thank you for your feedback. Your comments and suggestions are invaluable in helping us make this newsletter as informative and useful as possible.

According to the survey, the articles that you find the most valuable are on technology trends and customer successes, closely followed by articles from SAS strategists.

In response to your feedback, we'll increase our focus on these areas, beginning with this issue's story on new anti-money laundering technology, details on how two college professors use SAS to predict game winners and losers in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, and an article from SAS' Jim Davis on performance management as a process for change.

Thanks for your input -- and thanks for reading!

Anne-Lindsay Beall
Editor, Your SAS Business Report
