SAS Assessments
Most companies today aren’t maximizing the horsepower that’s available from their SAS products and solutions. Often there are inefficiencies in data management, application development and data processing, and in how SAS products are used. These inefficiencies result in lost time, lost productivity and increased costs resulting in lost profitability.
Experis’ SAS Assessment service is a customized, short-term evaluation of SAS tools and products usage within your department or organization. The objective is to increase the value of SAS solutions and tools to your company, and determine how to realize a greater return on investment in your licensed SAS assets.
During the assessment, Experis will:
- Perform an analysis of data flows and determine if there are inefficiencies in how data is managed
- Evaluate extraction, transaction and load activities in the search for potential optimization opportunities
- Evaluate non-SAS data sets and applications for potential migration to SAS products
- Evaluate reporting from SAS applications to determine if the latest technology and functionality is being used
- Evaluate the SAS development environment to determine potential improvements in maintainability, reliability and program accuracy
- Evaluate analytical and modeling techniques
Migrations and Upgrades
Implementing a new solution, upgrading to a new SAS version and migrating to a new environment all require detailed planning. Your plan must include how the change will affect your environment, impact your current applications, and how your new solution should be configured to achieve maximum performance.
