It was wonderful to see and talk with so many SAS Administrators at SAS Global Forum this year. If you’re like me, you may have finished the conference wondering why it wasn’t possible to be two places at once because there was so much terrific content that it was impossible to see it all.
I haven’t yet figured out how to be two places at once, but I have compiled a list of some of the great SAS Global Forum 2014 papers that are especially relevant for SAS Admins. Based on conversations with many of you and with the questions we received during the SAS Administrators Panel Discussion, I recommend the following list:
General Administration Topics
A Guide to SAS® for the IT Organization
SAS® Installations: So you want to install SAS?
Top 10 Resources Every SAS® Administrator Should Know About
SAS® in the Enterprise.a Primer on SAS® Architecture for IT
Tips and Tricks for Organizing and Administering Metadata
SAS® Admins Need a Dashboard, Too
The Latest Tuning Guidelines for Your Hardware Infrastructure
Migration, “Modernization” and Moving to 9.4
Helpful Hints for Transitioning to SAS® 9.4
The Top Five Things You Need to Know about Migration

Thank you Margaret for the mention: SAS® Installations: So you want to install SAS?. You indeed have honored me and the icing on the cake personally for me is that it is by you! Thank you!
Paul Homes has a great paper on automated SAS metadata security testing and being able to test security quickly, frequently, and easily, without requiring programming expertise in the SAS metadata model and interface. It provides SAS Administrators a way to confidently maintain SAS metadata security within and between environments and be alerted when deviations occur http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings14/1761-2014.pdf
