Solve complex analytical problems faster.

This solution runs on SAS® Viya®, the latest addition to the SAS Platform, delivering predictive modeling and machine-learning capabilities at breakthrough speeds. In-memory data persistence eliminates the need to load data multiple times during iterative analysis. Multiple users can collaborate easily, exploring the same raw data and building models simultaneously. You'll measure processing time for analytical modeling in seconds or minutes – not hours – and find solutions to challenging problems faster than ever.

Reduce latency between data and decisions.

Interactive visual and programming interfaces dramatically shorten the time it takes to prepare data and build sophisticated machine-learning models. Users can share data sources and code snippets for improved collaboration. You can code projects using SAS or other languages, such as Python, R, Java or Lua. The SAS code is generated behind the scenes for later batch runs, editing and automation. You can also create advanced machine learning algorithms using a visual drag-and-drop interface without ever having to code.

Key Features

  • A flexible, approachable visual environment for analytics. Multiple users can currently analyze any amount of structured and unstructured data with the easy-to-use visual interface. 
  • Highly scalable, in-memory analytical processing. A secure, multiuser environment enables concurrent access to data in memory. Data and analytical workload operations are distributed across nodes, in parallel, and are multithreaded on each node for very fast speed.
  • Innovative statistical, data mining and machine-learning techniques. An incredibly broad set of modern statistical, machine learning, deep learning and text analytics algorithms are all accessible within a single environment. Analytical capabilities include clustering, different flavors of regression, random forests, gradient boosting models, support vector machines, natural language processing, topic detection and more. 
  • Integrated data preparation, exploration and feature engineering. A drag-and-drop interface enables data engineers to quickly build and run transformations, augment data and join data within the integrated visual pipeline of activities. All actions are performed in memory to maintain a consistent data structure.
  • Integrated text analytics. Because the solution is designed with big data in mind, you can examine extremely large collections of text documents. Explore all of your textual data, not just a subset, to gain new insights about unknown themes and connections. 
  • Model assessment and scoring. Test different modeling approaches in a single run and compare results of multiple supervised learning algorithms with standardized tests to quickly identify champion models. Then operationalize analytics in distributed and traditional environments with automatically generated SAS score code.
  • Accessible and cloud-ready. Whether it’s Python, R, Java or Lua, modelers and data scientists can access SAS capabilities from their preferred coding environment, whether it's Python, R, Java or Lua. And with SAS Viya REST APIs, you can add the power of SAS to other applications.
