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](https://sasapps.io) 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](https://sasjs.io))
|
||
- 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](https://docs.datacontroller.io/videos/#data-lineage) that can be exported as PNG, SVG or CSV
|
||
- [Zero Code data capture](/5-zero-code-ways-to-import-excel-into-sas/) with data model protection
|
||
- [Row Level Security](/row-level-security/) for any SAS-connected table
|
||
- Browser based SAS 9 Metadata explorer
|
||
- [Dynamic Cell Dropdowns](https://docs.datacontroller.io/dynamic-cell-dropdown/)
|
||
- Automated [EUC capture](/euc-management-system/)
|
