The day was different from all the other days at SAS. Today instead of all the CA students splitting up we all met at Building R to work with a product called GatherIQ. GatherIQ is a program that uses SAS analytics to produce rich information on issues around the world. The day started with a presentation of what we would be doing today. Basically, the presentation talked about how we were going to test the product because we will not have biased opinions and we have never worked with the product before. The goal was for SAS to get information on the usability of GatherIQ. I really enjoyed testing GatherIQ because I actually got to do something hands-on. It was also cool because I was testing a product that SAS is working to refine and make better. After testing we all went to lunch for a quick break. After lunch, we went to a meeting where we were put in groups and asked to brainstorm about potential changes that could be made to improve the GatherIQ product. After brainstorming we presented to some employees in the room and were filmed so that they could show their co-workers. Overall today was a wonderful day and I am looking forward to Monday where we are going to do some more hands-on stuff with some SAS products.
