As a trusted SAS Partner, Algomine provides highly skilled SAS experts—analysts and developers—to organizations in need of rapid team augmentation.
BACKGROUND
This time, we supported a bank of a Japanese origin seeking to optimize its reporting and data analysis processes. The engagement involved maintaining existing reporting structures and executing new project initiatives, ensuring seamless integration with the bank’s business requirements. Leveraging our years of experience with SAS technology, we successfully identified and presented suitable candidates within one week.
The SAS experts were to immediately undertake the following responsibilities:
- Managing periodic and ad hoc reporting.
- Analyzing reporting requirements based on business needs.
- Proposing methodologies and technologies for task implementation.
- Optimizing reporting workflows and standardizing processes to enhance efficiency.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Upon joining the project, one of the experts was assigned to the reporting team, which supported both the bank and its leasing division. An initial assessment revealed a substantial backlog of tasks accumulated over several years. The primary objective was to verify, assess, and prioritize these requests based on relevance and feasibility. By refining and streamlining the backlog, the team effectively aligned its efforts with the bank’s business expectations.
Another key challenge was developing analytical frameworks and standardized requirements to improve process efficiency. These enhancements aimed to simplify developers’ work and increase overall operational effectiveness.
To ensure cost-effective and time-efficient task execution, the newly hired SAS experts focused on:
- Establishing uniform reporting standards and process templates.
- Introducing optimization techniques for cyclical reporting.
- Identifying opportunities to consolidate tasks to enhance workflow efficiency.
IMPACT AND RESULTS
The collaboration between Algomine’s SAS experts and the bank resulted in:
- A significant reduction in the backlog, leading to better resource allocation.
- Improved alignment between reporting outputs and business expectations.
- Streamlined processes that enabled faster and more accurate reporting.
- A structured approach to new report development, enhancing scalability and maintainability.
Through this engagement, Algomine successfully demonstrated its expertise in SAS analytics, process optimization, and strategic reporting, contributing to the bank’s operational excellence and data-driven decision-making.
The entire recruitment process took just one week, saving our client valuable time and resources while ensuring the selection of professionals with proven practical skills and experience.
