talks about SAS, WPS, other softwares she studied like SPSS,.She also talks
about the difference between small and big companies , what sets SAS apart
and the famous licensing model of SAS
Interview – Anne Milley, SAS Part
1<http://smartdatacollective.com/Home/16909>
Anne Milley has been a part of SAS Institute’s core strategy team.
She was in the news recently with an article by the legendary Ashlee Vance
in the Bits Blog of New York Times
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/16/sas-warms-to-open-source-one-letter-at-a-time/
In the article, Ms. Milley said, “I think it addresses a niche market for
high-end data analysts that want free, readily available code. We have
customers who build engines for aircraft. I am happy they are not using
freeware when I get on a jet.”
To her credit, Ms. Milley addressed some of the critical comments head-on in
a subsequent blog
post<http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/r-you-ready-for-r/>
.
This sparked my curiosity in knowing Anne ,and her perspective more than
just a single line quote and here is an interview. This is part 1 of the
interview
