A Long History of Knowledge Sharing
sasreference supports you in your data management and reporting activities.
sasreference Blog
My name is Véronique. When starting my career as SAS programmer professional in 2006, I created a sasreference, a SAS programming blog in French (sasreference.fr) to share my discoveries about the language.
At that time already, Sébastien Ringuedé, author of the book “SAS, Inroduction pratique : du data management au reporting” referenced my worked in his book.

10-Year Experience in Clinical Research
During the first 10 years of my career in clinical research, I used SAS to map study data, develop macros to check the quality of the data and automate activities. I also developed tools and processes to standardize the maintenance of CDISC standard (metadata, codelist…), create TFL, and so on.
xxformat, an Independant Player
Since 2017, xxformat GmbH supports its clients in their data management and reporting activities.
It’s SAS programming expertise covers the current version SAS 9.4 using the solutions of the two major players in the market:
- SAS Institute (the long-standing player)
- Siemens with its Rapidminer SLC engine.
As an independent player, xxformat GmbH approach is focused on operational needs rather than the technologies of market players to support its clients effectively.
Professional Training Resources
Starting in 2017, three main training resources (currently not available for sale) were developed:
- WeCode Companion, a resource consisting of 16 modules comprising over 1,400 pages of short, reproducible, and annotated examples presented in a structured manner, as well as additional resources such as short videos, resources for lunch-and-learn sessions, a practical project, and tip sheets.
- MailLib, a solution for receiving exercises by email. With hundreds of exercises available in its database, this technology offers your team the opportunity to learn something new every day.
- GoGoGraph Premium, a workshop for programmers and biostatisticians who want to understand and implement the seven key concepts for creating custom graphs. The workshop can be held in person (two days) or online.
