Did you know today is National IT Professionals Day? I'm sure you broke out your party hat. And you're dancing a shared cloud infrastructure dance. Am I right? Since this looks to be a new holiday, we thought we'd help you celebrate with links and resources. Share them with your favorite IT professionals or SAS administrators - or bookmark them for later, you know, after the cake and ice cream.

Start by reading this popular series of blog posts, "The IT Whisperer," from Lisa Horowitz. You'll find tips on mapping your SAS environment and increasing IT's awareness of SAS.

Another popular topic is the SAS Administrator content on the SAS Users blog. This ongoing series offers posts about SAS Backup Manager, SAS Environment Manager, SAS metadata - and more.

Next, check out this on-demand Webcast about anlaytics and the role of IT.  In it, we debunk four common myths about analytics and IT.

Finally, I'll leave you with a fun post that describes why one well-known retailer sends IT and business leaders to attend conferences together.

If you still haven't had your fill of this big holiday, you can find even more content for IT Professionals by following the Twitter hashtag, #ITProDay throughout the day.
