Data Controller for SAS® was a finalist in the 2021 "Excellence in Innovation" award!
Each year, SAS recognises a partner that has demonstrated outstanding innovation by adding their own intellectual property to SAS software in order to uniquely solve a complex customer business problem. Analytium is one of the "chosen four", from among over 1800 partners globally!
Award Process
There was a strict 15 minute virtual presentation, that began with a 3-4 minute "customer elevator pitch" to explain the customer value of the solution. The remaining time delved into the technical side of things, plus Q&A. There were around 12 SAS employees on the call, with a mix of backgrounds, and assessment was made across three dimensions:
- Does the solution represent unique innovation?
- Is the solution a valuable addition to SAS Software (ie, "fills a gap")?
- Does the solution solve a customer need?
For our part, we began the presentation with an animated video, that explored some of the pain points solved by Data Controller, such as:
- Batch stability
- End User Computing
- Audit investigations
On the innovation side, we talked about some of the following unique capabilities we have built to deliver customer value:
- Ability to deploy without a web server (streaming app capability)
- The DevOps framework, which we have open-sourced (SASjs)
- Cross SAS-Platform technology (Viya, SAS 9, and soon - desktop SAS also)
As well as an overview of the list of features we have built, to extend the value of SAS Software:
- SAS 9 Data Lineage diagrams that can be exported as PNG, SVG or CSV
- Zero Code data capture with data model protection
- Row Level Security for any SAS-connected table
- Browser based SAS 9 Metadata explorer
- Dynamic Cell Dropdowns
- Automated EUC capture
- Excel Formula capture
- Bitemporal Uploads
