How SAS® Is Different

  • SAS and DataFlux (a SAS company) provide options for organizations to meet their data management, data governance, data integration and data quality challenges. A variety of technologies and solutions are available for analyzing, improving and managing the entire data life cycle.
  • DataFlux Data Management Platform can provide the technology backbone for data governance initiatives.  With a single repository for business rules, it enforces  standards for data quality throughout the enterprise.
  • DataFlux Data Management Studio provides an interface for data discovery, business rule creation and execution, workflow management and other functions for the assessment, improvement and integration of data.
  • Organizations can implement both batch and real-time services with the ability to use a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach to provide flexible deployment and delivery options.
  • SAS and DataFlux technologies enable you to enhance the value of your data by intelligently incorporating information. Using data from trusted sources enables you to build a more accurate real-world view of your customers and  organization.

Benefits

  • Assure users that the data they get is timely and correct. Data profiling and discovery are key components of the data quality technology platform, allowing business users to develop business rules to identify and correct issues and then extend these rules across the enterprise. This technology allows business users to drive data-enrichment efforts. The intuitive graphical user interface and comprehensive prebuilt data sets will help your organization see beyond the boundaries of your own data.
  • Better meet regulatory compliance mandates. With the increase in regulatory oversight, data governance has become a necessary component of doing business. Maintaining high-quality data that complies with internal and external regulatory compliance requirements is essential to any data governance implementation. The intuitive user interface allows business users to easily align data against regulatory requirements or create specialized business rules to oversee your organization's compliance needs.
  • Improve customer loyalty. People like having their names spelled correctly, not receiving duplicate mailings and having their account information correct and up to date, even if they deal with multiple business units in your organization. The reality most organizations face is that customer data is spread across multiple databases. To address these issues, organizations need to build a single, accurate view of enterprise data.
  • Increase profit margins. Eliminate misfiled, duplicate, incorrect or incomplete information for mailings and other marketing campaigns. Accurate data helps correctly identify and target more granular market segments, enabling you to reach the right customers. Accurate data also leads to overall better decision making.
