Western Australian businesses will have greater access to analytics and business intelligence, with global data insights software firm SAS today announcing a strategic deal with consulting firm Ajilon.
Ajilon — which will rebrand as Adecco Group global brand Modis later in 2018 — has been a strategic SAS partner since 2011, leveraging SAS’ next generation solutions to solve real business problems for its customers throughout Australia.
Today’s deal sees this partnership bolstered, making Ajilon SAS’ preferred partner to service commercial SAS customers in WA on a user lifecycle basis, and provide skilled resources to government customers.
SAS recognised both Ajilon’s capabilities, and its robust WA presence. The new partnership is expected to increase the presence of both firms within WA. SAS’ existing presence in WA spans resources, energy, utilities, education and government. Ajilon has 1100 consultants across Australia.
