What is SAS Viya?

SAS Viya is a software platform designed for data management, analytics, and artificial intelligence tasks. It supports a range of analytical methods including data preparation, statistical analysis, machine learning, and deep learning. The software enables users to integrate data from multiple sources, perform complex data transformations, and build analytical models. SAS Viya supports collaborative workflows, allowing different users to access and work on data projects using a common platform. It offers programming interfaces in languages such as Python and R and provides deployment options that accommodate on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.

    I am using the ERS project for large data so my experience with SAS Viya has been very positive, particularly in enterprise and large-scale analytics environments. We are using it in the ERS project to create dashboards and insightful information. The platform offers a strong balance between advanced analytics, operational stability, governance and data insight. It is well suited for organizations that require reliable, scalable and auditable analytics across the full data and model lifecycle. While initial onboarding requires planning and enablement, the long-term value and performance make it a dependable analytics platform for mission-critical use cases
