SAS® Event Stream Processing Studio 2024.03
Accessibility Conformance Report- Revision Date: April 24, 2024
- Contact: accessibility@sas.com
- VPAT version: 2.4
SAS® Event Stream Processing Studio (hereafter ‘the software’) focuses on analyzing and processing events in motion or Event Streams. Instead of storing data and running queries against the stored data, the software stores queries and streams data through them. The software processes huge volumes of streaming data flowing at very high rates with very low latency. This empowers customers to make important decisions in real time.
For information regarding the accessibility features of the software, see SAS Event Stream Processing: Accessibility Features.
