Case

FinSAS Financial Research: Financial Data and SAS Programming

By Zhichuan (Frank) Li

Finance

In early January 2016, FinSAS Financial Research Inc. needed to recruit more programmers because of its rapid growth. However, the average annual salary for financial programmers had been increasing significantly. The financial research company decided that it needed advice from a “programming strategist” from the software engineering industry. The company contacted such a strategist to build a reusable module for use by all company programmers, to avoid coding the same functionality over and over. FinSAS provided access to some of its programs and asked the strategist to prepare a proposal for the project. Would the strategist’s proposal meet the needs of FinSAS and its programmers?
