SAS® Social Media Analytics showcased at eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit

CARY, NC - SAS® Social Media Analytics is the first enterprise solution designed to meet the needs of marketers in medium and large companies. SAS, the leader in business analytics, will demonstrate the new solution in Booth 21 at the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit, May 3-7.

SAS Social Media Analytics helps companies understand, predict and act based on social media data. With the ability to archive and analyze more than two years of social media conversations from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, discussion forums, blogs and more, SAS’ new on-demand software shows marketers how people feel about their products or brands, who is influencing them, and how social media conversations affect business results. They can immediately apply answers to brand strategies, media placement, public relations and customer care activities.

SAS will also demonstrate SAS Web Analytics which collects, cleanses and organizes large volumes of raw Web data and integrates it with offline sources. Providing built-in analysis of Web data, the solution then presents the information through a customizable reporting system.

In addition, SAS will host an eMetrics Marketing Lab, May 4 at 3:30pm in the Gold Meeting room with Katie Delahaye Paine, CEO of KD Paine & Partners, presenting “Understanding and Predicting the Impacts of Social Media on Your Business.”

On May 4 at 6:00pm SAS is sponsoring a Web Analytics Wednesday networking event at the eMetrics Reception in the Exhibit Hall.
