SAS IT

SAS IT has a long term business relationship with the Automobile Association (AA), having provided financial bespoke application development and hosted systems service since the early 1990s. We manage and maintain the IT environment for AA in an outsourcing arrangement. In particular this includes the AA membership database, one of the largest customer databases in the country.

SAS IT wrote the AA Rewards System which supports the very popular AA Rewards loyalty card. Since then we have managed and maintained that system which has seen strong growth through a network of more than 40 partners including many major retail brands.

SAS IT has also supported the development of the new AA website by creating applications and developing the links to, and integration with, the host systems to provide dynamic, real-time information to the website. As their key partner, SAS IT has played an important role in growth achieved by the AA in recent years to the point where membership now exceeds 1.3 million. Listen to CIO Doug Wilson discuss the AA's long and fruitful relationship with us:

SAS IT has worked with the New Zealand Automobile Association for decades. Early on, their team developed the membership database and then the AA Rewards Systems to manage the interaction with AA members. "The system has to grow as we moved into new business areas. Now the AA is one of the most innovative and complex Automobile Associations in the world, not least because the business can change and adapt quckly thanks to our IT systems.
