SAS Viya: A modern data and AI platform built for the cloud analytics journey

Here’s the big takeaway: In just a few years’ time, analytic and AI models have gone from being on-premises “pet projects” and proofs of concept to high-volume mission-critical technologies developed and deployed in the cloud to support business decisions at scale. But as the survey reveals, most IT departments haven’t evolved how they will support and enable the new world of cloud analytics at scale.

Migrating existing models and scaling the development, deployment, and ongoing management of large volumes of new models are complex, risk-laden, and costly endeavors without the right tools, planning, and preparation. IT leaders must be prepared to equip and lead their developers and line-of-business customers on a tailored, optimized journey to peak value. Tapping into experienced cloud experts through SAS Managed Services is one major step toward success.

The second is adopting a modern data and AI platform such as SAS Viya, with which IT can instantly modernize its tool bag and leadership approach to meet this need.

SAS Viya equips IT leaders for their IT-as-a-guide role by providing the specialized tools, tests, automations, and analytic life cycle process support needed to make the journey to peak value safe, efficient, achievable, and sustainable — even for the inexperienced.
