From Data to Decision: Increasing AI Productivity with SAS Viya

Commissioned by SAS


On the heels of a study that showed SAS® Viya® to be 30x faster on average than other leading AI/ML platforms, SAS reached back out to independent research firm The Futurum Group to analyze the productivity of data and AI teams who use Viya compared with alternatives.

According to Futurum, Viya outperforms the selected alternatives for a variety of technical and non-technical users. For example:

  • Data engineers are 16 times more productive accessing, preparing and governing data with Viya.
  • Data scientists are 3.5 times more productive building, optimizing and validating models.
  • MLOps engineers are 4.5 times more productive deploying, monitoring and retraining models.
  • Business analysts and other non-technical staff can complete 86% of data life cycle tasks using Viya, compared to 56% in the commercial environment and 47% in the non-commercial environment.
