SAS® Visual Data Discovery
Interactive data visualization for analytics
SAS Visual Data Discovery provides a point-and-click interface to the advanced analytic capabilities of SAS. It enhances advanced analytics and exploratory data analysis with interactive data visualization, leading to better analyses, faster decisions and more effective presentations of analytic results. It combines three of SAS' most popular software products (Base SAS®, SAS/STAT® and SAS/GRAPH®) with JMP®.

How SAS® Is Different
- SAS Visual Data Discovery overcomes the inherent limitations in spreadsheets, static graphs, charts and tabular reports, providing a nonprogramming environment for exploratory data analysis.
- It enhances advanced analytics and exploratory data analysis with interactive data visualization, leading to better analysis, better decisions and more effective presentation of analytic results.
- Unmatched advanced analytics and interactive data visualization deliver the ability to explore ideas, investigate patterns, discover previously hidden facts and reveal opportunities through visual queries.
Benefits
- Allows users to interact with graphs to clarify results and take action. SAS Visual Data Discovery provides exploratory data analysis and interactive data visualization in an extendable point-and-click environment, dynamically linking statistics with graphics.
- Provides immediacy and responsiveness for greater productivity. All data is held in memory during visualization, rather than having to wait while data is moved from and to disk. It takes advantage of multithreading to work faster in multiprocessor machines.
- Exports interactive animations to insert into presentations, Web pages and other documents. Show your colleagues what you’ve discovered and let them interact with the visualizations – and see for themselves.
- Overcomes data limitations. There are no limitations on table sizes, so you are limited only by your operating system and your computer's RAM.
- Provides a powerful and comprehensive analytical environment without having to code. Users can point-and-click their way through the interface and customize analyses with their own SAS programs.
- Helps achieve corporate and governmental compliance. You can generate repeatable results that are easily documented and verified.
