Today was yet another interesting day in the friendly confines of SAS, as I experienced the IT department. I had an excellent host in the morning, who introduced me to many individuals within the sub-departments that make up the larger department of IT. It was really interesting to see the way project management works at SAS and the organizational structure involved. Today, my highlights included a few things. I got to walk through the entire supply room, where I saw the entirety of SAS’ inventory. It was very cool to see how the computers are put together, and how all resources are organized. The other thing that happened is I got to meet the CTO and executive vice president of SAS today. He talked to me a bit about the company and gave me a lot of insightful information on what he does. I really enjoyed the entirety of my day, and look forward to the next few!
