Paper 145-2008 Tailoring the Use of SAS ® Enterprise Miner™

A growing number of SAS users with different goals and skill levels need access to data mining functionality. The new generation of SAS ® Enterprise Miner™ 5 and the SAS stored process facility provide an easy way to tailor data mining functionality to the user's needs. The flexible architecture of SAS Enterprise Miner and the integration of Enterprise Miner into the SAS Enterprise Intelligence architecture allow the product users to create data mining projects for interactive or batch execution and share projects with other users. The software’s Extension facility allows users to build specific functions that are fully integrated into the Enterprise Miner workbench. Based on the integrated batch processing capabilities, model training and model scoring code can be easily extracted from SAS Enterprise Miner and integrated into the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform using the SAS stored process facility. For users of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, customized data mining interfaces can be integrated into their favorite Microsoft applications.
