If it’s about building better systems, we must ask: Better for whom? In parts one and two of this series, I’ve looked at AI engineering as the discipline that integrates technical practices and orchestrates the -Ops landscape. And I’ve addressed end-to-end accountability, shared governance, and adaptive resilience. But there's a
Talking about analytics platforms online doesn't usually start with awards. It starts with experience. People often talk about what helps them scale projects. What makes AI easier to operationalize? What holds up under real-world pressure? Across peer review platforms like G2, SAS® Viya® users have been sharing those experiences – describing
When people think about SAS Innovate, they usually picture keynotes, demos and conversations about technology. While true, what they don’t always see is the work happening behind the scenes – the creativity, craft and collaboration that help shape the experience long before attendees arrive. This year’s SAS Innovate in Texas
SAS Innovate 2026 is building on what attendees loved last year while introducing a few meaningful updates.

We took a trip around campus, visiting some familiar locations with some old photos. 2026 marks 50 years of SAS. Undoubtedly, our software has changed the world, but there’s something else that’s been revolutionary: our workplace culture. A key part of that in Cary, NC, is our headquarters. To celebrate
Manufacturers operate some of the most complex machinery on the planet – from CNC machines and industrial robots to gas turbines with over 20,000 components. Keeping these assets running smoothly is mission-critical, yet maintenance teams are often buried under vague alerts, scattered documentation and time-consuming root cause analysis. Much of
Most analytics stories don’t start with technology. They start with a moment of friction. A meeting where two dashboards disagree. A decision that feels urgent, but the data arrives too late. A report that technically answers a question but doesn’t inspire confidence. That’s usually when organizations realize they don’t just
Building a machine learning pipeline in SAS® Model Studio is rarely a straight line. You start with a goal in mind but quickly find yourself navigating many decisions: understanding the nuances of your data, identifying and fixing data quality issues, choosing models for the task and evaluating training results to
