Any conference committee will strive to provide a balanced agenda, and, while VIEWS2001 featured many purely technical presentations, there were also others that were more focused on business issues. The VIEWS2001 delegates came clearly down on the side of the technical presentations, as one might expect - VIEWS after all was set up originally to fulfil a need for a technical forum for SAS users that was not available otherwise. Nevertheless, business needs always have to be taken into account as they ultimately will decide whether or not SAS is there for the technical people to use.
