Valence Health depends on SAS Enterprise BI Server both for its own reporting and to provide powerful self-service reporting for its customers, US health care providers.

They can examine patient cost, disease management, risk stratification, case management and other information at their convenience,” said Steve Tutewohl, Valence Senior Vice President of Analytics. “SAS Enterprise BI Server empowers our customers to analyze how Valence has helped lower costs.”
