MANILA, Philippines - Through its partnership with internationally recognized business professionals, SAS Philippines brings real world knowledge to SAS users with the SAS Business Knowledge Series (BKS) training on March 24-25 and April 13-16 at the SAS Philippines office (21st floor, Equitable Tower, Paseo de Roxas, Makati City).

Conducted by SAS offices across the globe, SAS BKS goes beyond the traditional SAS training in software usage and offers an extensive list of courses addressing a complete range of business topics related to SAS business intelligence and analytics.

SAS BKS’ target participants are the business and functional heads of organizations who want to understand business intelligence besides the technical and technology perspective. 

In the Philippines, SAS presents its first BKS training around the hot topic of credit risk management.   

SAS Philippines intends to introduce other topics within the year such as forecasting and optimization targeted for other executives across various industries.

On March 24-25, a comprehensive course on “Credit Scorecard Development and Implementation” will be conducted.

In this course, participants will learn how to create business and project plans for scorecard development, develop and validate intelligent credit risk scorecards, and generate scorecard and portfolio performance reports.

On April 13-16, a comprehensive course on “Credit Risk Modeling for Basel II Using SAS” is slated.

Participants will be taught how to develop credit risk models in the context of the recent Basel II guidelines.

The course provides a sound mix of both theoretical and technical insights as well as practical implementation details illustrated by several real-life case studies.
