If you’re looking for a way to simplify your weeknight dinners and make meal prepping a breeze, shredded chicken is your secret weapon. With just a batch of tender, flavorful chicken, you can whip up a variety of quick and easy meals.
The rise of AI-powered fraud has supercharged criminals’ abilities to exploit systemic weaknesses and fool the most careful among us. Fortunately, as indicated by recent research from SAS and Coleman Parkes, the next few years will see major AI investments by government fraud fighters, giving hope that they will turn
Across government programs worldwide, the stakes for managing fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) have never been higher. Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar that could have been used to fund public health, education, or infrastructure. In a previous blog, I discussed the movement toward increasing public sector productivity
A previous article shows how to convert a positive integer from base 10 to any other arbitrary base. For example, 15 (base 10) = 120 (base 3) because 15 = 1*32 + 2*31 + 0*30. Representing integers is probably familiar to many readers. But did you know that you can
Health care is entering a new era, one that moves closer to where people live. By 2026, the traditional model of care, centered around hospitals and clinics, is giving way to a more decentralized, patient-centric approach. This shift is driven by three converging forces: rising costs, evolving patient expectations and
Hackers have a major milestone to celebrate this year as the phishing attack turns 30 years old. Phishing attacks can be traced back to the 90s, coinciding with the popularity of America Online (AOL). For those too young to remember, AOL was an early internet service provider that revolutionized the
With the rapid evolution of regulatory environments, the pressure on financial institutions (FIs) to effectively detect and prevent money laundering while staying compliant with the changing pace of regulatory requirements is greater than ever. However, with the right tools and strategies, this pressure can be effectively managed. Regulatory scrutiny is
Imagine being dropped into a vast mountain range, such as the Adirondacks and being tasked with finding a specific lake. You are told that the lake is located at the lowest part of the mountain range and the only tools you are given are a compass and a method for
SAS' new approach to MRM streamlines your compliance and review process by delivering real-time model reporting and statistical outputs.
The term “Internet of Things” has been around for over a decade, but the conversation between SAS Vice President of IoT Jason Mann and Quasar CEO Edouard Alligand shows that the real transformation is only just beginning. The two explored how IoT is moving beyond reactive monitoring toward predictive analytics
Recently, AOL discontinued the dial-up tone synonymous with the internet. After 34 years, we will no longer hear the mechanical screech of connecting to the World Wide Web. Nostalgia notwithstanding, this news gives me pause to contemplate what my children will see sunset in their lifetimes. Consider Google today. A
While many applications of Monte Carlo techniques use pseudorandom numbers, some applications that involve integrals are more accurate when you use quasirandom numbers, which, despite their names, are not random but are deterministic sequences of numbers. Many of these sequences are constructed by representing base-10 numbers in a different base.
毎年SAS Globalで開催されるSAS Customer Recognition Awardsは、SASを活用し卓越した貢献をされたお客様を表彰する取り組みです。SAS利用へ、企業を超え大きな影響を与える活動を称える Community Uplift 部門において、塩野義製薬様・武田薬品様の取組みが評価され、2位受賞しました。 記事はこちら👇 2nd Place Winner: Shionogi & Co., Ltd - 2025 Customer Recognition Awar... - SAS Support Communities 製薬業界ではSASユーザーが中心となり、データサイエンスに関するコミュニティ構築・勉強会を積極的に開催しています。本記事では、長らくSASを利用頂き、コミュニティへの参加者側から運営側まで携わっておられるお二人へコミュニティ参加への重要性とメリットについてインタビューをいたしました。 2部構成でインタビュー内容をお届けします！前半では業界内でのコミュニティ形成や情報交換の重要性についてとお届けしました。 記事はこちら👇 https://blogs.sas.com/content/sasjapan/2025/10/01/cusotmerrecognitionawards-communityuplift2024-part1/ 後半である本Blogでは、塩野義製薬様が主催している異業種を巻き込んだデータサイエンスに関するコミュニティイベントの重要性についてお届けします。 Q:塩野義製薬様は、異業種参加型のデータサイエンスに関するコミュニティイベント“SHIONOGI DATA SCIENCE FES”を2023年から3年連続で開催されていますね。 SHIONOGI DATA SCIENCE FESは、2017年からSHIONOGIグループ内のデータリテラシー向上、部署を超えた“協創”や新しい価値を創出することを目的として社内向けに開催していました。 「データ」に関わる多様なバックグラウンドをお持ちの多くの方にご参加いただくことで、会社や産業の枠を超えた“協創”を促進する場となることを期待し、2023年より社外向けイベントとして開催するようになりました。 初めて開催した2023年は約910名、2024年は約1,530名、2025年は約1650名と、年々参加者が増えています。 Q:北西さんは医薬開発部門からDX推進本部へ異動され、企業内のデータ分析に関わる横断的な業務をご担当されていますが、それをきっかけにSHIONOGI DATA SCIENCE FESを社内外で取組み強化されようと思った背景はありますか？ DX推進本部で、企業内の業務横断的なデータ分析業務をおこなうようになり、改めて「データドリブン型ビジネス」の重要性や、データ・インフラ整備、データリテラシーの向上の重要性を再認識しました。 データドリブン型ビジネスをおこなうためには、データ分析基盤上で仮説設定・検証を高速にまわし、ビジネスにおける意思決定へ反映させることが重要ですが、その実現のためにはデータ・インフラ・組織整備・スキル・リテラシー教育など数多くの課題が存在します。
Our daily lives are constructed from a continuous series of choices; some small, some big, some connected, many unrelated. These choices are intentional decisions we make to steer ourselves towards our goals (or away from potential pitfalls). Organizations do this, too, although how and by whom is often unclear. As
When companies invest in AI, the first question often asked is: “What’s the ROI?” It's a fair question – but often the wrong one, at least in the way it's traditionally framed. In the early 2000s, no one could give you an ROI calculation for building a website. But they could
