Data Management - Quick Look
Data is your most valuable asset—if you can trust it, access it, and use it effectively. SAS Viya makes that possible, helping teams work faster with built-in automation, no-code tools, and governed data that’s always ready for insight, action, and impact.

Access
Access data seamlessly and efficiently, regardless of size or complexity.
Prepare

Govern

SAS Viya not only allows our analysts to do all the hardcore analysis they want on the data – to structure the data and create models in a very agile way – but they can share the information in a very intuitive and simple way. This allows people without data skills to understand patterns and use them during the design phase.” Stefano Rozzi, Telematics Quality and Field Analysis Manager, Iveco Group
