Users of SAS9 and SAS Mainframes are faced with a complex question. Modern platforms are rapidly developing into highly capable data & analytics environments with innovations like artificial intelligence, real time insights and a cost effective architecture. At the same time, SAS9 support is being limited and the development of the platform has stopped.
The urgency for organisations to modernise their legacy SAS environments is increasing, but given the extensive legacy and mission critical function, this is not an easy task. As Analytium we have worked with organisations in different industries, and of different sizes, to tackle this question.
Whilst the business case for modernisation is different for every organisation, there are universally applicable core principles you can use. In this blog we wrap our observations of the different cases into a single article, which explain what the business case for SAS Modernisation looks like, and which things you should consider.
