With strong governance, data quality and thoughtful integration, agentic AI can transform insurance underwriting.
The emergency department (ED) has always been the front line of patient care – fast, chaotic and often lifesaving. But behind every quick decision made by a clinician, there’s a critical dependency: the lab. The link between EDs and hospital labs has a rich history, rooted in science, technology and
At SAS Innovate in Orlando, our partners shared how they’re driving meaningful change with SAS®. From strengthening financial services with AI-powered AML solutions, to helping marketers build privacy-conscious personalization, to enabling scalable, cloud-based analytics, they’re showing what’s possible when innovation meets collaboration. In the video above, you’ll hear directly from
In a world where headlines often warn of automation replacing jobs and AI outpacing human creativity, it’s easy for young professionals to feel uncertain about their place in the future. But this summer, a group of SAS interns proved that technology can be a tool for good. Through a data
The speed at which your organization can deploy new AI models determines your ability to stay ahead of the competition. It’s a measure of your ability to experiment and innovate, try new things and learn quickly. It’s also one of the reasons organizations are investing in SAS® Viya® – which
Ever feel like tech headlines are coming at you faster than your morning coffee kicks in? One minute it’s LLMs, the next it’s agentic AI, and suddenly your spreadsheet wants to talk back. In a world where innovation never hits pause, SAS isn’t just watching the change; we’re part of the
Every organization collects data, but collecting it isn’t enough. For companies that want to make personalized offers, detect fraud and optimize supply chains, decision-making is the ultimate measure of analytics success. But despite massive investments in data infrastructure and AI, many companies still struggle to bridge the gap between insight and action. That’s
When Center Point-Urbana Community School District set out to rethink how they supported students, the leadership team knew they needed practical insights to better understand student academic growth and opportunities to improve instruction and interventions. Located in Iowa, the district serves a predominantly rural, middle-class community with four schools serving
Every day, AI is making choices that shape lives, industries and the future. But can we trust those choices? Organizations are making huge investments in AI, and it’s changing how decisions are made. But without clear results and proven value, investing in these technologies may be a failure. In fact,
Experimentation is the engine of innovation. Whether optimizing manufacturing processes, testing new materials, or simulating policy outcomes, the ability to run controlled experiments is essential. Design of experiments (DOE) is a well-established statistical methodology that helps organizations systematically explore the relationships between variables and outcomes. However, traditional DOE has its
In a world obsessed with AI and algorithms, it’s easy to assume that the biggest challenge in analytics is technical. It’s not. It’s human. How can enterprises nurture a culture that truly uses data-driven decision making? What role do leaders at every level play? And how does targeted education help
From transforming online insurance services to combating the opioid epidemic, SAS customers are using data and AI to drive innovation, enhance efficiency and make a positive impact on society. These stories – and more – offer a glimpse into how our customers are shaping the future with SAS. Dive into
Let’s face it, supply chains today can feel like one headline away from chaos. Whether it’s new tariffs, labor strikes, warehouse fires or unpredictable weather patterns, retail and consumer goods companies are constantly juggling curveballs. Each disruption comes with a price: tighter margins, out-of-stock products, unhappy customers and many operational
Learn how to modernize legacy SAS workflows by integrating Python and automating processes using GitHub Actions and SAS Viya Workbench, enabling seamless collaboration and CI/CD across development environments.
Suppose you measure data weekly. According to the ISO standard, weeks are measured in the range 1-53, where most years have 52 weeks, but occasionally there is a "leap week." (The WEEK function in SAS implements the ISO standard to find the week-of-the-year for any date.) The heat map to
AI agents take on more responsibility in our most sensitive systems – from finance to public safety to health care – one thing is clear: trust can’t just be designed in. It has to be sustained. Continuously. In the first two parts of this series, we explored the ethical foundations
Hospitals are being asked to do more with less – deliver rapid connections to health care services, generate better outcomes and have tighter coordination across teams and services. The patient is at the center of it all. Getting people the care they need, where they are and when they need
This is the second in a five-part blog post series that delves into modernizing marketing strategies through the integration of advanced marketing platforms. I had the pleasure of interviewing Shaun Memon of Munvo for this series, where we discuss a wide range of topics, from fragmented MarTech stacks, first-party data
They say data is the new oil, but it’s only valuable if you can refine it into something useful. In transportation, that means turning raw traffic data, sensor inputs and video feeds into real-time insights that actually improve how we move. That metaphor set the tone for a 2025 IoT
In an uncertain geopolitical world, integrated balance sheet management (IBSM) is crucial for building financial resilience. Fragmented risk systems hinder banks’ ability to navigate volatile markets. Isolated control models are especially problematic when managing liquidity, profitability and capital efficiently. According to a recent FT Longitude survey of executives from 300
We at SAS were proud to see Iain Brown, SAS Head of Data Science for Northern Europe and author of the book Mastering Marketing Data Science: A Comprehensive Guide for Today’s Marketers, recently acknowledged as one of the top 100 AI influencers on X/Twitter. (Number 36, not too shabby!) Iain
My colleague Rick Wicklin maintains a nifty chart that shows the timeline of SAS releases since Version 8. A few of you asked if I could post a similar chart for SAS Enterprise Guide. Here it is. Like Rick, I used new features in SAS 9.4 to produce this chart
What if the data behind your next prescription could help save lives – not just yours, but millions more? Behind the scenes, researchers are turning everyday health records into powerful insights that shape the safety of drugs and medical devices. At the heart of this work is Cheryl Walraven, a

Financial fraud is a high-stakes issue in banking, where schemes are becoming increasingly sophisticated and costly. As a result, detecting anomalies quickly and accurately is a top priority. But traditional data-driven fraud detection models face challenges such as data scarcity, privacy constraints, and model bias. This is where synthetic data
Let’s be real: no single language rules the world anymore. It’s all about the right tool for the job. You’ve seen the lists: “Top Programming Languages of 2024.” “Python vs. Rust: The Ultimate Showdown.” “Why Java Refuses to Die.” But you rarely see SAS on these lists. And I get
Many of today’s fraudsters are figuring out how to use AI to automate and structure scams that are unique to each person they target. If fraudsters can analyze your data, learn your patterns, track your interests, and exploit who you trust – how can you combat them? According to SAS
