SAS^® Viya^® delivers the flexibility that drives innovation and creativity.

Programming Languages

Run existing code faster, loading data with minimal changes from your favorite SAS coding client. And expedite decisions from pre-existing programs and assets – on a platform that lets you orchestrate analytical assets written in SAS, Python, R or Lua.

Data Sources

Gain tangible results from all your data – big and small – interactively, on a schedule or while data is in motion. SAS connects to all kinds of data (structured, unstructured, text, documents, audio and images) wherever it resides (in the cloud, on-site, or in your data lakes in traditional systems).

Analytic Techniques

Combine new, innovative analytical methods with an extensive suite of proven approaches. Use a single, visual web interface for iterative model building across domains – from data mining and machine learning to forecasting and text analytics, and from exploration and discovery to statistical analysis.

Deployment Options

Accelerate innovation with processing power and efficiency, whether you’re running in a cloud, on-site or hybrid environment. Code is portable among on-site installations, or from one cloud provider to another, so you avoid vendor lock-in.

Analytical Talent

Break down silos that inhibit collaboration. Make analytics accessible to everyone regardless of skills or experience – data scientists, business analysts, domain experts, application developers and executives. Safeguard your analytical assets against talent attrition by integrating SAS and other languages into a single, underlying code base.

Flexible Licensing

Whether you choose an on-site or cloud-based solution, SAS offers flexible licensing and pricing options to meet your needs both today and in the future. This flexibility accommodates your future growth – new users, bigger workloads, new deployment patterns, etc. – while addressing any issues related to cost, agility, architecture, governance and deployment.

Control

SAS^® Viya^® helps you ensure continual progress and trusted results by maintaining appropriate control over your data, models and processes.

Data + Model Governance

Quickly register champion/challenger models in a shared, centrally managed inventory. Access consistent, governed code from your preferred interface or language – SAS, Python, R or Lua. Consolidate, manage and monitor the processing of SAS and other analytical assets, with lineage traceability across the entire analytical life cycle.

Scalability

Increase processing power as you need it with a consistent, centrally managed environment that scales to address any analytics challenge. A single, underlying code base means there's no need to redefine, recode or reconfigure if your cloud provider, data volume or speed requirements change. Self-healing mechanisms sustain high availability, and automatic disk space utilization in constrained memory environments ensures jobs don't fail.

Deployment

Develop models once and deploy them in just a few clicks to any infrastructure or application ecosystem, without rewriting code. Be confident you're using the best models through automated management and deployment processes.

Security + Privacy

Secure your analytical assets with features such as authentication, authorization and encryption. Follow organizational and regulatory standards for reliance and user access.
