SAS data integration projects have a number of advantages
over projects that rely heavily on custom code and multiple tools
that are not well integrated.
-
SAS data integration reduces development
time by enabling the rapid generation of data warehouses, data marts,
and data streams.
-
It controls the costs of data integration
by supporting collaboration, code reuse, and common metadata.
-
It increases returns on existing
IT investments by providing multi-platform scalability and interoperability.
-
It creates process flows that are
reusable, easily modified, and have embedded data quality processing.
The flows are self-documenting and support data lineage analysis.
