Making informed decisions quickly is more critical than ever. As markets shift and customer expectations evolve, companies need tools to process vast data and turn insights into actionable strategies.
That’s where SAS Decision Builder comes in, now available through Microsoft Fabric's public preview announced at Microsoft Ignite.
With SAS Decision Builder, you can construct complex business rules, operationalize your data, and transform insights into decisions that drive impact. Whether you're streamlining loan approvals in financial services, predicting retail customer preferences, or improving manufacturing equipment efficiency, decision intelligence is your key to staying competitive.
If you’re new to decisioning, we’ve put together a primer to help. Let’s explore how SAS Decision Builder is already impacting four key industries.
Financial services: Faster, smarter decisions in a rapidly changing market
Markets evolve faster than ever, buoyed by economic, political, or global news, and customers want access to assets quickly. Banks might take days to approve or reject loans in a traditional setting, costing valuable time. SAS Decision Builder allows institutions to create decision flows that follow criteria for approved and rejected credit scores, improving the time to offer. With the extra time, banks can save money while focusing on specific clientele with unique situations.
Investors can similarly use SAS Decision Builder to evaluate real estate deals of particular interest, as the doom loop narrative and high-interest rate period dominate the news cycles. As my colleague Franklin Manchester covers, decision intelligence can help decide what to do with unused office space or rebalance the portfolio.
Health care: Data-driven decisions for personalized patient care
Hospitals and insurers face increasingly complex decisions navigating the realities of aging populations and complex reimbursement structures. Using decision intelligence technology, organizations can predict the next best action, helping patients and members better manage complex chronic conditions or be discharged from the hospital to the appropriate setting.
SAS Decision Builder continuously updates decision flows, ensuring that care recommendations evolve with patient health and industry advancements, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and financial performance.
Public sector and education: Streamlining services and enhancing student success
Government tasks often begin with collecting information from forms submitted by citizens, stakeholders, or other public organizations, such as tax filings, benefit applications, and grant applications. This demands a lot of time and attention from large staff despite many simplistic and rote processing decisions. Automating these forms' initial processing and routing will enable governments to respond to requests, provide services, or disburse funds faster. With SAS Decision Builder, easy decisions are performed, teeing up the form for humans to take meaningful actions or make final determinations.
Similarly, academic institutions process volumes of forms, from admission applications to financial aid requests. SAS Decision Builder expedites the processing these documents so that the institution can turn its focus from mundane tasks to those requiring human consideration and attention.
Manufacturing: Optimizing efficiency and minimizing disruptions
Decision intelligence software is useful in several areas of manufacturing. One area is equipment maintenance, which factories must monitor closely to ensure efficiency and reduce stoppages. Paired with sensors, SAS Decision Builder can identify when replacement parts or a complete refresh is needed. Decision intelligence enables proactive steps, preventing disruption along the value chain.
SAS Decision Builder can also help with next-step processes if there is a market disruption. Decision flows can pre-wire how a factory or organization should adjust to changes, creating a level of clarity and automation that is often needed in times of crisis.
