What Is SAS Visual Analytics?

SAS Visual Analytics is an easy-to-use, web-based product that leverages SAS high-performance analytic technologies. SAS Visual Analytics empowers organizations to explore huge volumes of data very quickly to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities for further analysis. SAS Visual Data Builder (the data builder) enables users to summarize data, join data, and enhance the predictive power of their data. Users can prepare data for exploration and mining quickly and easily. The highly visual, drag-and-drop data interface of SAS Visual Analytics Explorer (the explorer), combined with the speed of the SAS LASR Analytic Server, accelerate analytic computations and enable organizations to derive value from massive amounts of data. This creates an unprecedented ability to solve difficult problems, improve business performance, predict future performance, and mitigate risk rapidly and confidently. SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer) enables users to quickly create reports or dashboards, which can be viewed on a mobile device or on the web.
Starting in the 7.2 release, the explorer enables you to create, test, and compare models based on the patterns discovered during exploration of the data. The explorer enables you to explore, discover, and predict using your data. You can export the score code, before or after performing model comparison, for use with other SAS products and to put the model into production.
SAS Visual Analytics empowers business users, business analysts, and IT administrators to accomplish tasks from an integrated suite of applications that are accessed from a home page. The central entry point for SAS Visual Analytics enables users to perform a wide variety of tasks such as preparing data sources, exploring data, designing reports, as well as analyzing and interpreting data. Most important, reports can be displayed on a mobile device or in the SAS Visual Analytics Viewer (the viewer).
