Get the business insights you need, on your own. Self-service data preparation from SAS – on SAS® Viya® – helps you access, profile, cleanse and transform data from an intuitive interface, so you can get the job done without an IT or data specialist. That means you can act quickly. Make decisions confidently. And help your team work more efficiently.
Key Features
- Intuitive user interface designed for self service. With a point-and-click interface that automatically generates code, nontechnical users can profile, cleanse, blend and move data without specialized skills or training.
- Access data from multiple sources. Data can be accessed from flat files, relational data sources, social media sources, SAS data sets, Apache Hadoop, Teradata, CSV files, text files or any source defined by licensed SAS/ACCESS® software.
- Ability to code. Technical users who prefer to code can access the SAS Data Quality routines from SAS code or from third-party coding languages such as Python.
- Built-in data quality and data integration. Market-validated data quality and data integration are prebuilt into visual interfaces for more consistency.
- In-memory, fast processing of data. A combination of advanced analytics, data visualization and data preparation capabilities helps you quickly prepare data for analysis.
- Integration into analytics pipeline. Automatically integrating prepared data into the analytics pipeline creates a seamless user experience of data discovery and data preparation.
- Faster performance. Bulk data movement, including parallel read/write for some data sources, as well as loading from relational sources, SAS data sets, social media and Hadoop speeds performance.
- Collaboration and reuse of tasks. Collaborate and share data among team members, or reuse existing plans (instead of reinventing them over and over) to boost productivity.
- Scheduled and automated tasks. Monitor jobs, view code and logs and automate jobs so you can do more with less.
- Ability to view lineage. Visualize relationships between data assets to help your organization better understand its data.
This solution runs on SAS® Viya®, which has the breadth and depth to conquer any analytics challenge, from experimental to mission critical. SAS Viya extends the SAS Platform to enable everyone – data scientists, business analysts, developers and executives alike – to collaborate and realize innovative results faster.
