The enterprise landscape is shifting rapidly. Currently, 79% of organisations have implemented autonomous agents, yet fewer than 25% have operationalised the necessary controls to manage them. This discrepancy creates a massive operational vulnerability known as the “Agentic AI Governance Gap”. As businesses move beyond experimental phases, deploying AI without robust, enterprise-grade governance introduces severe commercial, […]

Welcome to the final chapter of our deep dive into SAS Viya formats. In Part 1, we exposed the “architectural dichotomy” that causes formats to vanish between the Compute Server and CAS. In Part 2, we gave you the tactical tools (PROC CPORT, FMTC2ITM, and the CLI) to migrate your legacy catalogs. Now, we face […]

In Part 1, we diagnosed the “Split-Brain” condition affecting many SAS Viya environments: the architectural disconnect between the legacy Compute Server (which relies on disk-based catalogs) and the modern CAS engine (which demands in-memory libraries). Diagnosing the problem is one thing; fixing it is another. If you try to simply copy-paste your old .sas7bcat files […]

It’s a scenario we see often: Your team has just completed a migration to SAS Viya. You’ve successfully lifted and shifted your trusted ETL jobs. You run your code in SAS Studio, check the log, and everything looks perfect. The data is clean, and your custom formats—those crucial definitions that turn cryptic codes like 1 […]

What is SAS Clinical Acceleration and Why Does it Matter? SAS® Clinical Acceleration represents a paradigm shift in how life sciences organisations handle their most critical asset: data. It is a modern, cloud-native statistical compute environment (SCE) built on the powerful SAS® Viya® platform. Unlike legacy systems that rely on disjointed tools, this system accelerates […]

The pressure to maintain data integrity, security, and governance for regulatory demands is non-negotiable. However, the webinar also brings a critical strategic question to […]
