The SAS Partner Program is designed to give our Partners a way to differentiate themselves in the marketplace for your skills and investments in SAS. So whether you are a Platinum, Gold or Silver Partner, your designation gives you unique access to SAS resources and sends a message to your customers about your SAS capabilities.

Each year, as defined in our Program Guide, we review our Partners’ achievements against program tier requirements, with the final date for meeting requirements of June 30, 2019. We are beginning that renewal process now, so it’s a great time to for you to start preparing for the process by taking the following actions:

• Work with your SAS Partner Manager to review your program requirements. Your SAS Partner Manager has a view of your status and can let you know where you stand.
• Advise employees holding SAS credentials to review their PearsonVUE profiles using SAS Certification Manager. Individual Pearson VUE accounts MUST contain the business/company email address and company name.  This ensures employee certifications will be linked to your company for SAS Partner Program requirements.
• Inform your SAS Partner Manager of any SAS certified employees who have left the organization.
• Make sure you have a credential “buffer”. If you currently meet program requirements, encourage employees to earn additional credentials to provide you with insurance in case you experience employee turnover.

Please reach out to your SAS Partner Manager to determine your necessary steps or email us directly at partners@sas.com.
