Where oh where are you SAS 9.2?
Excuse the rant but I am really hanging out for SAS 9.2
And by SAS 9.2 I don”t mean the current release which is little more than an upgrade to a few Proc’s (to me any way). I mean:
- Drag and drop web reporting
- Office Addins that complies with metadata folders
- a fully integrated content capability
- a robust metadata server
- conditional processing in Enterprise guide
- proper prompting in web reporting
- JSR 168 capability in the portal
- a production dashboard capability
The more I research at it it is looking like 2009 before we will see it. That means it will be 5 years between major releases.
Compare this to software as a service delivery models (but that should probably be a blog post for another time)
Peek-a-boo 9.2 I really want to see you.
