CARY, N.C., June 15, 2005 -- SAS, the leader in business intelligence, today announced that Poindexter Systems, a leading provider of behavioral targeting solutions for advertisers, is using SAS(R) Enterprise BI Server to simplify its massive database structure and strategically customize its online marketing campaigns. Poindexter will tap into SAS' business intelligence solution so both internal and external clients can easily access reports at any level.

"SAS Enterprise BI Server provides what I consider to be the most elegant view and pre-processed control of OLAP cubes that I've ever seen," said David Montgomery, vice president of marketing analytics at Poindexter Systems. "In order to enhance our clients' advertising effectiveness online and increase their customer responses the way we've planned, we need to create separate OLAP cubes and streamline control of database structures for each individual campaign, and only SAS gives us the power and scalability to do that.

"We're excited about expanding our relationship with SAS to include business intelligence solutions that allow both our internal users throughout the company and external clients to view reports on each campaign that provide all the information they need quickly and accurately."

Already a SAS customer, Poindexter Systems is expanding its portfolio with the addition of SAS Enterprise BI Server. More information on Poindexter is available at www.poindextersystems.com/index_flash.html.

SAS Enterprise BI Server provides a suite of enterprisewide ad hoc query and reporting capabilities, complementing the power of SAS analytics and data management to create an easy-to-use platform that's unique to the BI marketplace.
