The tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office cover a wide range of SAS capabilities. These SAS tasks are easy-to-use interfaces that create SAS programs to do their work. The programs call on SAS procedures, where each procedure represents a specialized capability. And to make it even more interesting, SAS (the company) provides these procedures in product bundles, which must be separately licensed for customers to use them.
SAS Institute offers hundreds of SAS products, and sometimes it's difficult to decide which tool you should use for your work.

As a SAS customer, you might use just one of these products or a few of them; if you're really lucky, you might use them all.
