And do you have a plan to move completely to browser-based Office apps? Currently you can't create SAS content from a browser-based Office app. If you or your colleagues need this browser-based function – you want to do something specific in Excel with your SAS content - we want to hear from you.

We're researching how to provide more of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office function in a browser app. Today, the expectation of most users working with "Office Online" applications in their browsers is that it's primarily for viewing and basic editing. How is Microsoft Office 365 changing your workflow? Voila! The content is dynamic and you have all the functionality the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office provides.
So what do you do when you want to edit that spreadsheet displaying in the browser? You select Open in Excel and the document opens on your desktop. The difference is that the content is not dynamic like it is on my desktop. Now suppose that I share this content in Microsoft OneDrive, and my colleague views it in Excel in a web browser. Want to see what that looks like in action? Check out this video Tech Talk with SAS developer Tim Beese. Then I open Excel on my desktop and use the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office to embed the shared report into my spreadsheet. First, I create a report in SAS Visual Analytics. Let's look at an example of how I use SAS with Microsoft Office. (Like many organizations, we already had one foot in this world by using Microsoft SharePoint for collaboration.) Collaboration on the web. While more of our data is now on the cloud (looking at you, OneDrive), it's not really changing how we work, especially when creating/maintaining content.
Have the Office applications on our desktops vanished? No, they have not. At SAS, we recently experienced this transition ourselves.

They can use the full version of Excel, PowerPoint, Word, etc., and they also have access to these same tools via a web browser. The bottom line is that most users of a "365" package in the cloud, also have access to the Microsoft Office tools on their Windows desktop. Microsoft has used different names for these similar offerings: Office 2016, Office 365, Microsoft 365, Office Online. With many organizations adopting Microsoft Office 365 - the "cloud" version of Office - what does this mean for other processes that integrate with Microsoft Office applications? In her role as Product Manager for SAS Platform Technologies ( including the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office), my colleague Amy Peters hears this question often.
