You can use SAS on the desktop. They could save SAS datasets to a location accessible by the web server or on a db server, and if you have the ODBC option the sas dataset can be queried like any db.
An other option, depending on how good your sas guys are, is that sas can write its output to a db server, I write sas data to a SQL-2000 server table. That table is then accessed by cf running on one of our intranet servers and the sas data is feed up to the web. Our data is only updated monthly, it is done by the sas guys. We have not explored ways of having a web user kick off sas and retrieve the results, but I am pretty sure it could be done.
