Savian was formed to address the gap that existed for SAS developers using the Windows operating system. The company realized a growing need to support the .NET developers’ unique situation – an environment requiring rich interfaces which easily contend with use of SAS analytical tools.
Assembling the Foundation
The company was in need of a rich toolset that enhanced SAS products, one that would make it both more accessible to non-SAS developers and increase the ease of working with SAS for existing developers. Savian programmers had already become bogged down in .NET’s embedded controls and were looking for more freedom in their design work. The Syncfusion Essential Suite controls relieved programmers of their “busy work” and freed them up for more development. Savian found that Syncfusion’s user-friendly interface and intuitive format (such as control-colored tabs) easily justified the purchase cost.
Breaking New Ground
Savian has now implemented Syncfusion products for approximately 90% of the company’s controls. Savian developers claim to have saved hundreds of hours of programming and look forward to partnering with Syncfusion again in the future.
