Why is SAS/GRAPH software important? It meets the needs of both business analysts who need to examine and present data visually and IT managers who need an effective, flexible yet consolidated software portfolio. SAS/GRAPH software creates highly customizable, presentation-style visuals no matter where the information resides, which computing platforms are used or what format the results are needed in. For whom is SAS/GRAPH software designed? SAS/GRAPH software is designed for use by analysts who need to explore, examine and present data in an easily understandable way, and then distribute their findings to decision makers in a variety of formats. Key Benefits Meet the full range of visualization needs while consolidating your vendor portfolio. SAS/GRAPH software can handle all of an organization’s graphic/data visualization needs, including analytical-style graphs, maps and charts with any style of output that is required. A consolidated vendor portfolio reduces the costs of licensing, maintaining, training and supporting a wide variety of visualization products. Employ graphical capabilities that can keep pace with the visualization demands of today’s organizations. Because SAS/GRAPH software is scalable across platforms, it supports the quantity and complexity of using large stores of cross-platform enterprise data. Users can self-sufficiently create powerful visuals from large amounts of data, making users more productive and reducing the load on IT. Key Features Data analysis. SAS/GRAPH software facilitates data analysis with a wide range of statistical methods, making it easy to pick out patterns, trends and items of interest within data. SAS visualization technologies take advantage of SAS’ integrated architecture to deliver insights derived from powerful SAS analyses. Any of the many statistical methods in SAS can be used to examine data for relationships with the results then analyzed graphically. Data visualization with maps, charts and plots. SAS/GRAPH software enables users across the enterprise to visually present their ideas and findings using a huge variety of business maps, charts, plots and 3D relationship graphs. Choropleth, prism, block and surface maps can be created in many colors and patterns. With SAS/GRAPH software, maps can be created that represent anything from a silicon chip to the ocean floor. Available charts include vertical and horizontal bar, pie, donut, subgrouped pie and donut, star and block, and many more. Plots include scatter, line, area, bubble, multiple axis and overlay. Data also can be displayed within a three-dimensional coordinate system using response surfaces or scatter plots. Visualization presentation. Visual components can be created, customized, easily stored in catalogs, retrieved as needed and combined with other graphics and information. You can create both static and interactive visuals, even free-form designs, and output them on hundreds of different devices. When you have the results you’re looking for, deliver them across the enterprise via printed reports, e-mail, the Web or embedded in other applications.
