SAS and Microsoft Join Forces to Enhance Generative AI Integration

SAS, a leading data management company, has announced an alliance with Microsoft to advance the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions on its SAS Viya advanced analytics platform. This strategic partnership is an opportunity to explore the next frontier in data management, which is the integration of generative AI solutions.

According to a comparative study published by The Futurum Group, SAS Viya is faster and more cost-effective compared to commercial and open-source alternatives in terms of data management. The platform extends its capabilities across various sectors and continues to look for ways to increase its speed, scalability, and efficiency.

The SAS Viya platform offers functions such as bias detection, model monitoring, governance, or accountability to demonstrate responsible AI practices to regulatory bodies. Additionally, it has launched internal training on responsible innovation for its employees to learn how SAS software helps analysts use correct data processing.

The use of data and statistics has also been integrated almost transversally into the world of sports, where AI and machine learning technologies can find patterns and trends that coaches can use to devise better strategies for their teams. As a result of these technological advancements, the French Rugby team has only lost four of their last thirty official matches.

SAS’s partnership with Microsoft can help companies achieve greater decision speed using capabilities like synthetic data, digital twin simulation, and large language models. These technologies can find patterns and trends that coaches can use to devise better strategies for their teams, as evidenced by the success of the French Rugby team.

Overall, this strategic alliance between SAS and Microsoft marks a significant step forward in integrating AI solutions into business processes while ensuring responsible usage practices.
