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 […]

The construction industry has always lagged behind in innovation, compared to other industries but geospatial data analytics will transform construction, architectural design, and civil engineering. Geospatial data analytics is location-based information, generated by billions of devices around the world. Thus, the additional insight provided to engineers and architectures helps the construction industry cut costs and […]

Predictive data analytics uses powerful algorithm models to analyse past data to predict future trends. If applied correctly, predictive analytics can be used to improve disaster relief efforts, thus reducing the economic impact of natural calamities. For example, experts in the US are combining predictive analytics with satellite imagery to improve warning times for thunderstorms. […]

Data analytics may be the solution transport planners need to combat traffic. To reduce road congestion, transport planners have to find a way to make people leave their cars at home and use public transport. However, to accomplish this, transport planners have to develop a robust transport ecosystem that maximises traffic flow for thousands of […]

Dark data is not as sinister as the name might suggest – comprising immense volumes of unused and unstructured data. This data includes email conversations, customer accounts, customer complaints, raw survey data, knowledge-based articles, meeting minutes, and other information. According to the International Data Corporation, 90% of unstructured data is never analysed. Such data is […]

It’s safe to say that analysis in aviation has been around since the days of the Wright Brothers. Now, with the emergence of aviation data analytics, analysis has stepped into a whole new level and shows no signs of slowing down. Accordingly, with the advent of sophisticated data analytics platforms and service providers, aviation companies […]
