Open Source Synergies and Collaboration with SAS in Life Sciences

We have seen recent investment in companies on open source, including technologies and up-skilling of resources. Common narrative is to compare proprietary analytics platforms, like SAS, with open source. In the life sciences industry, the open source analytics tool of choice is R for statistical programming with its community and vast domain specific libraries.
