SAS/EIS software takes advantage of object-oriented applications development (OOAD) technology by allowing you to use blocks of already existing code to build new, customized applications.

The ability to reuse code means that applications are implemented in a consistent, efficient manner--which, in turn, simplifies applications maintenance and updating. Ready-made objects that represent complete parts of applications can easily be assembled into complete systems without the need for programming.

The software offers a wide range of business reporting objects, providing a choice of styles for dynamic display and interactive analysis. The business reporting objects include:

Multidimensional Data Viewer--allows data to be viewed immediately in any way you choose from any possible dimension.
Organizational Chart--provides graphical display of your organizational data.
Comparison Report with horizontal bars--combines text and graphics to instantly display tabular data on graphical displays.
Expanding Report--delivers a complete overview of data with graphics, and allows drill-down to any level of data.
Overlapping Bar Report--enables different data sets to be presented together--allowing trends and comparisons to be clearly established.
Multicolumn Report--summarizes data at all summary levels as tables or tables with graphics.
