Installing SAS 9.2 AMO for Outlook (4.3) – Tick the box stupid!

Installing SAS 9.2 AMO for Outlook (4.3) – Tick the box stupid!

When installing the Office Addin in for SAS 9.2 you get the old Excel/Word & Powerpoint options by default.

But the Outlook option is unticked by default, so if you want to use it, tick it!

(and yes you can imagine I keep forgetting hence my post!)

The ooutlook option turned up in the latest M3/4.3 release.

Of course that brings me to my theory that the Office Addin for Outlook component will actually overtake the SAS Portal and AMO/Excel interface as the preferred way of accessing predefined SAS content by end users.

And I could talk about how I think that by also offering Search (Google or Microsoft not the SAS portals … effort)  and GIS as the visualisation interfaces to SAS content, that the concept of a Portal is effectively dead.  But Ill blog about that later.
