SAS Information Map Studio

SAS Information Map Studio is a Java application that enables data modelers and data architects to create and manage SAS Information Maps, which are business metadata about your data. Information maps enable you to surface your data warehouse data in business terms that typical business users understand, while storing key information that is needed to build appropriate queries.

Information maps provide the following benefits:

Users are shielded from the complexities of the data.
Data storage is transparent to the consumers of information maps, regardless of whether the underlying data is relational or multidimensional, or whether the data is in a SAS data set or in a third-party database system.
Business formulas and calculations are predefined, which makes them usable on a consistent basis.
Users can easily query data for answers to business questions without having to know query languages.

For more information, see the SAS Information Map Studio Help, which is available from within the product. In addition, see SAS Information Map Studio: Getting Started with SAS Information Maps and SAS Information Map Studio: Tips and Techniques, which are available at http://support.sas.com.
