There is a cost vs benefit here thay you may want to look at. If SAS (I don't know have never looked at it) provides all of the functionality you are looking for out of the box, and is supported it may be more cost effective to buy the product vs spending the time to develop and support it in house. You have to decide how much time it would take your team to replicate all of the features, test, fix, document, support -- in the long haul it may be the same amount of cost or even more. On the other hand if SAS does not provide all of the functionality you need or is not extendable than you may have a better buisness case right off the bat.
