SAS Viya

Summary

SAS Viya, the latest enhancement to the SAS Platform, is a cloud-enabled, in-memory analytics engine that provides quick, accurate, and reliable analytical insights. It uses an in-memory engine called CAS and is accessible via Graphical User Interfaces, SAS/CASL programming language, or Open Source programming languages.

At BeOptimized, we master everything a customer should know to leverage the power of the platform. We can assist you with migrating from Base SAS to Viya, using the platform to develop new codes, reports, models, or analyses, and coaching you to fully take advantage of this particular SAS release.

Our top consultant, Christophe Kabacinski, studied extensively to understand how SAS Viya works. In 2023, he became certified in Linux and SAS Viya administration, and in 2024, he passed the Kubernetes and Cloud Native certification!

About us: Christophe Kabacinski was an official full-time SAS training Consultant at SAS Belgium for four years. Besides his pedagogical skills, he masters almost all the official SAS courses and has more than 13 years of field experience as a SAS consultant. Christophe is also a guest lecturer at the University of Louvain and teaches the course SAS Advanced Programming using SAS Viya .

Service Description

We help you in the adoption of your new SAS Platform

At BeOptimized, we are experts and certified in the usage of the Viya platform. We know how to code (SAS, CASL) to leverage the usage of the CAS server, use Visual Analytics to create business reports, and use Visual Statistics and VDMML to analyze the data and create models. This knowledge comes from years of field experience along with SAS Viya courses and certifications. BeOptimized can assist you in several ways:
  • Migration from SAS9 to Viya:
    • Adapt Base SAS9 code to use CAS server processing as much as possible
    • Convert Data Steps from single to multi-thread processing and convert PROC SQL to PROC FEDSQL
    • Migrate tables to Viya server and load them to CAS worker nodes
    • Promote reports and diagrams from SAS9 to Viya
  • Programming:
    • Create SAS code to utilize CAS server parallel processing
    • Optimize table management to load/unload tables from server/database to the CAS server’s in-memory area
    • Use Python/CASL to process CAS tables using CAS actions
  • User interfaces:
    • Create and share Visual Analytics reports and dashboards based on CAS tables
    • Analyze large datasets, refine dynamically predictive models using Visual Statistics
    • Create, understand, and automate models using Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning
  • Administration:
    • Guide you through the new Kubernetes-based architecture: help you gather logs and metrics, navigate in the cluster, pods, or containers
    • Create libraries, user groups, folders, and other administrative tasks
    • Assist with utilizing REST & CLI user interfaces to query the microservices endpoints
  • Coaching:
    • Acquire all the necessary knowledge to program on the CAS server: establish connections, understand the impact of parallel processing on your codes, use PROC FEDSQL, create CASLIB, and load/unload data using PROC CASUTIL...
    • Quickly learn to create reports in Visual Analytics, explore the main user interface objects
    • Build automatic models in VDMML and challenge them with your Data Science knowledge or Open Source models
  • BeOptimized offers free support for up to one month on all the topics presented during coaching.
To optimize the knowledge transfer, all coaching sessions are individual. Tips and tricks sessions can be organized on demand for groups of employees (at your office or at our business center). Note that tips and tricks are presented monthly at our business center.
