Data and artificial intelligence (AI) specialist, SAS, has exciting news for its customers – the company has expanded its SAS-hosted managed services to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic move gives customers more flexibility in how they deploy and manage their investments in SAS technology and solutions.
SAS customers have always enjoyed the benefits of SAS Viya as a cloud-agnostic platform. Now, with the expansion to AWS, customers can choose from a range of cutting-edge products and solutions deployed as a hosted managed service, including SAS Viya.
Jay Upchurch, executive VP and CIO at SAS, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating, “We designed SAS Managed Services to provide our customers with the best of SAS: our software, services, support, and expertise. The growth we’ve seen is proof it’s working, and we’re thrilled to bring the full SAS Managed experience to our AWS customers.”
Customers can expect maximum uptime, reduced costs, and increased speed and security with SAS Managed Services. Steve White, program VP of channels and alliances at IDC, commended the move, noting that it gives customers more choice in leveraging data and AI within their organizations.
The expansion to AWS simplifies the modernization process for customers already on the platform or those looking for the right cloud provider. With SAS’ full product suite now available on AWS, customers can leverage the strengths of both partners for their business benefit.
Overall, this expansion demonstrates SAS’ commitment to meeting customers where they are and providing them with innovative solutions for their data and AI needs.
