Why Migrate to Altair’s Complete, High-Performing Alternative SAS Language Environment?
In Altair’s alternative SAS language environment, users can do the things they’ve dreamt about. In it, users can run existing programs written in SAS language syntax without needing to install third-party products, incorporate and blend existing programs with modern open-source languages like Python, R, and SQL, and deploy analytics via application programming interfaces (APIs) in real time.
With these capabilities, teams can enjoy returns on investment often within a year, and cost savings of between 50-70%, alongside improved governance features and a modernized, flexible platform that can adapt to teams’ future needs.
The Three M’s: Match, Mix, Modernize
Users can manage migration in phases or as a single project
Match: A basic migration would match users’ current on-premise or mainframe architecture to run existing SAS language programs.
Mix: A more encompassing migration could take advantage of the ability to mix Python, R and SQL with the SAS language.
Modernize: Comprehensive architecture support lets users modernize to the cloud, to a new on-premise platform, or to a hybrid approach.
