People working with medical data e.g. epidemiologists. Have a look at a system called DHIS2. The developers highly recommended the use of R.

I know equity had training on this but not sure if they actively use it. For SAS, get someone from Safcom to advice.

I am not conversant with it and went online to look it up.
From SAS website, it seems like it is at least a three tier system (server to end user). My queries:
* Is there anyone out there that has interacted with SAS? * Does it scale down or should I also include a server along with their request? * Are there alternatives that are not as large scale as SAS? I look forward to your response :) -- __________________________________________________________________________ Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony.
