Forwarding a question from a fellow at a certain science-based federal dept.

Does anyone on this list know of an example of any GoC or western
government organization migrating their users/base from SAS to R?

More specifically, when the organization was a science-based organization
and the majority of the users being on the science side of things?

Just a theoretical question of course...

I found some useful resources but no concrete examples as per above:
- SAS to R Migration https://www.r-bloggers.com/sas-to-r-migration/
- A Saga Of Migrating From SAS To R
http://www.mbtmag.com/article/2015/03/saga-migrating-sas-r
- Helping Your Organization Migrate to R
http://r4stats.com/2015/03/16/migrating-to-r/
- SAS to R Migration - LondonR http://www.londonr.org/download/?id=87

I am particularly interested where perhaps 90% of the use cases were
addressed by R, and perhaps 10% still had to be in SAS, but at least
reducing the SAS costs by 90%......

Thanks,
Glen
