No matter where your data is stored, from cloud, to legacy systems, to data lakes, like Hadoop, SAS Data Management helps you access the data you need. Create data management rules once and reuse them, giving you a standard, repeatable method for improving and integrating data, without additional cost. As an IT expert, it's easy to get entangled in tasks outside your normal duties. SAS Data Management enables your business users to update data, tweak processes and analyze results themselves, freeing you up for other projects. Plus, a built-in business glossary, as well as SAS and third-party metadata management and lineage visualization capabilities, keep everyone on the same page. SAS Data Management technology is truly integrated, which means you’re not forced to work with a solution that’s been cobbled together. All our components, from data quality to data federation technology, are part of the same architecture.
