+# Data Controller for SAS
+
+Get control over your manual data modifications!
+
+Alternatives to Data Controller include:
+
+🏃 Running #SAS or #SQL updates in production
+❓ Asking a #DBA to run validated code after a change management process
+💾 Developing / testing / deploying / scheduling overnight batch jobs to load files from shared drives
+🔒 Opening (and locking) datasets in Enterprise Guide or SAS® Table Viewer to perform direct updates
+🌐 Building & maintaining your own custom web application
+
+Problems with the above include:
+
+💩 Risk of manual error / data corruption
+💩 End users requiring direct write access to critical data sources in production
+💩 Breaches due to unnecessary parties having access to the data
+💩 Inability to trace who made a change, when, and why
+💩 Reliance on key individuals to perform updates
+💩 Building bespoke ETL for every new data source
+💩 Upload routines that must be manually modified for table changes
+💩 Legacy 'black box' solutions with little to no testing, documentation or support
+
+Data Controller for SAS® solves all these issues in a simple-to-install, user-friendly, secure, documented, battle-tested web application.  Available on Viya, SAS 9 EBI, and [SASjs Server](https://server.sasjs.io).
