SAS's appeal is that it already has the grounding with enterprise-scale management models. Clearly, SAS is hardly the only provider offering lifecycle management of models, but as enterprises increasingly rely on models to help them make decisions for which they will be accountable to regulatory authorities, this will become a more critical functional gap for organizations to fill. SAS is taking yet another step on the lifecycle end, as the next release of Open Model Manager that has been included as part of Viya (shipped in February) will also be available as a standalone, cloud-based tool that won't require SAS software. We've previously ranted that SAS should contribute to open source later this spring they plan to put their money where our mouth has been, announcing their first contributions.
The guiding notion is, use the algorithms and languages (read: Python) of choice, but leave the lifecycle management and mathematics to SAS. And the company is fighting for mindshare with the next generation of practitioners in a market that, as we noted last year, is now crowded with trendy upstarts.Īs we previously noted, Viya provided the path for SAS to working with open source software.
#REPORT RECCOMENDS BITING THE BULLET SOFTWARE#
SAS is also biting the bullet and rewriting its next-generation software stack into a cloud-native architecture, while counterparts such as Informatica, have already gotten there. That's akin to counterparts that went private, except that SAS was already private.
The company, whose growth flattened to about 1 – 2% annually over the previous five years, didn't report revenues this year. But unlike most enterprise software firms that sold perpetual licenses, SAS's previous license already had similarities to the subscription model in that clients rented rather than purchased the software.
The company is responding to the same tectonic shifts impacting the entire enterprise software provider ecosystem, but with some SAS unique twists.įor instance, like many of its counterparts, SAS is making the shift from traditional licensing to subscription. According to COO and CTO Oliver Schabenberger, 2019 was a transformative year for SAS.
