An Introduction to SAS® Information Map Studio

An Introduction to SAS® Information Map Studio
Kevin Davidson · FSD Data Services, Inc. & University of Houston

ABSTRACT
SAS Information Map Studio is used to create information maps - metadata that  surfaces your data into terms that business users can understand. Information  architects can visually specify relationships between tables so that business  users can query the data and get reports without having to know much (or any)
programming. SAS Web Report Studio will be used to demonstrate the utility of  information maps.

A couple days before the conference deadline for submitting this paper I found  out about some major upgrades to Information Map Studio, making some of my  content out-of-date. Thus I’m going make this more of an executive summary  style paper rather than a technical one with a plan of demonstrating the latest  release of the software, version 3.1, during the presentation.
