the cloud of their choice
LAS
VEGAS, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SAS
INNOVATE - Data and artificial intelligence (AI) leader SAS
has officially expanded its SAS-hosted managed services to Amazon
Web Services (AWS). A strategic addition to the SAS Managed
Services portfolio, the expansion gives customers more options for
how they choose to deploy and manage their investments in
industry-leading SAS technology and solutions.
SAS Managed Services empower customers with
SAS software, services, support and expertise.
SAS customers have always reaped the benefits of SAS®
Viya® as a cloud agonistic and cloud portal platform.
Now, not only will they have their pick of cloud provider, but they
can also select from SAS' catalog of cutting-edge products and
solutions deployed as a hosted managed service, including SAS Viya,
on AWS. Customers will benefit from SAS expertise from start to
finish, with SAS installing, configuring, securing, operating and
maintaining its platforms and solutions in the cloud
environment.
"We designed SAS Managed Services to provide our customers with
the best of SAS: our software, services, support and expertise,"
said Jay Upchurch, Executive Vice
President and Chief Information Officer at SAS. "The growth we've
seen over the last few years is proof it's working, and we're
thrilled to bring the full SAS Managed experience to our AWS
customers. That means that we're enabling even more of our
customers to get the best SAS has to offer, in the way that works
best for them, in their cloud of choice."
SAS Managed Services shorten the distance between data and value
by delivering maximum uptime with minimal administrative overhead.
Customers also see additional advantages like reduced costs,
retirement of technical debt and increased speed and security, so
they can focus on what matters: innovation and real results.
"The expansion of SAS-hosted managed services to AWS is a smart
move that makes SAS available to more customers, giving those
customers more choice with how they want to leverage data and AI
within their organizations," said Steve
White, Program Vice President of Channels and Alliances at
IDC. "This shows SAS is serious about its strategy and meeting
customers where they are."
SAS simplifies the modernization process from SAS® 9
to SAS Viya for customers already on AWS or those looking for the
right cloud provider to suit their needs. With SAS' full product
suite available on AWS, it is easier than ever for customers to use
the strengths of both partners for the benefit of their
business.
