Trask and SAS Enter Strategic Partnership
The Trask technology company, a significant European leader in IT and innovation, has entered into a strategic partnership with SAS, a global leader in artificial intelligence and analytics software. The collaboration aims to offer customers a comprehensive portfolio of services in the field of advanced artificial intelligence solutions, particularly in areas such as Customer Intelligence, Data Management, automation, fraud detection, AML (Anti-Money Laundering), risk management, and compliance.
Trask has long been developing innovative solutions based on advanced data mining and artificial intelligence. Deepening the longstanding cooperation with SAS was therefore a logical step. In line with its global strategy, SAS is intensifying its collaboration with partners and transitioning from a direct to an indirect distribution model in selected markets. This also applies to Slovakia, where Trask has taken over most of SAS Slovakia’s expert employees and active contracts. The result is a regional SAS competence center at Trask, serving not only Slovak customers but also the needs of the entire region.
“This linkage takes us to a new level of partnership and SAS competence across the entire CEE and DACH region, especially in areas such as AI, Customer Intelligence, Data Management, and analytical cloud solutions,” said Daniel Pecina, Chief International Business Officer at Trask.
Thanks to this union, both companies can offer their customers the benefits of integrating advanced SAS AI solutions with Trask’s strong consulting and technological competence. In addition, clients have access to extensive support, which is crucial in securing critical business processes, such as fraud detection or real-time customer scoring. Trask also offers SAS solutions as a service (SaaS), helping customers minimize initial investment.
“We are delighted that we were able to deepen our cooperation with Trask,” adds Hana Kvartová, Regional Director of SAS Central Europe. “It is the ideal partner for us because it has extensive experience in implementing analytical solutions and a diverse portfolio of services. Together, we can offer our customers even better and more comprehensive services.”
The SAS specialist team joined Trask at the end of 2023. Together, they will operate in the mentioned competence center in Bratislava, which will gradually be supplemented by consultants from the Czech Republic and Germany.
