SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services and Assetlink, a leading provider of integrated marketing operations management solutions, have joined forces to provide marketers worldwide with a combined offering that will deliver greater efficiencies and effectiveness to their marketing processes. Under this new global agreement, Assetlink will integrate its marketing operations management suite with enterprise marketing solutions within SAS® Customer Intelligence.
"Assetlink is very excited to integrate our marketing operations management capabilities with SAS' unparalleled customer intelligence solutions," said Chetan Saiya, CEO of Assetlink. "While the combined strength of our respective competencies will benefit both companies, it is our customers who will receive the greatest value from the integration of our products and industry expertise."
Assetlink's capabilities deliver efficient planning, management and execution of marketing operations. SAS' comprehensive suite of customer intelligence solutions embeds SAS analytics into the marketing process, enabling marketing executives to make smarter decisions and solve more business challenges to continually improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing investments.
By combining the cost and time efficiencies gained through Assetlink marketing operations management with the strengths of SAS Customer Intelligence to manage the customer-focused marketing process, marketers can drive significant increases in revenue and reduction in cost from their marketing activities.

This agreement between SAS and Assetlink helps companies achieve both of these goals, creating an optimal outcome for the CMO's marketing budget," said Jeff Levitan, SAS Global Intelligence Practice General Manager.
