E-BOOK
Drive Analytic Innovation Through SAS and Open Source Integration
Learn how to use SAS with open source to drive analytic value and make trusted decisions. Whether you're a SAS user interested in dabbling in open source or an open source user who wants to use SAS, this e-book will help you get started.
Why use SAS with open source?
Turn your models into smarter business decisions. SAS Viya enables all thinkers and innovators to extract insights from data using their tool of choice.
Deploy & execute open source models everywhere
Put your models into production with simultaneous access to multiple deployment destinations. Execute analytics however you like – using APIs, in batch, in a private docker, on Azure, etc. The choice is yours.
Govern & orchestrate your analytics ecosystem
Using different tools, frameworks and technologies to develop models fuels innovation and creativity. But it can also mean a level of complexity that makes it difficult to turn analytics into value. SAS supports models in different languages, moving them from sandbox to production in a centralized, governed manner that meets any scalability requirement.
Integrate models into business applications
A model has no value until it becomes a product, tool or solution users can interact with. SAS REST APIs let you easily customize and integrate open source analytics into your business applications so you can realize value quickly.

“SAS has the ability to bring together the data scientist community like no other solution can.”
Shawn Hushman • Former VP of Decision Sciences • Cox Automotive
Becoming 'code agnostic' at Cox Automotive
At Cox Automotive, SAS Viya is the glue holding the analytics organization together. With a team that includes people around the world who code in Python, R and SAS, the ability to integrate disparate code, processes and information into one hub that provides consistent delivery of information is particularly impressive.
“We have people programming in multiple interfaces, and they’re using different ways to collaborate on model development," says Shawn Hushman, former Vice President of Decision Sciences for Cox Automotive. "They have different ways they like to publish and show the output and different ways to deploy the models. SAS allows us to stitch it all together.”
