SAS and Microsoft are joining forces to transform AI-driven decision-making with innovative tools. At the SAS Innovate conference, CEOs Jim Goodnight and Satya Nadella emphasized the importance of responsible AI in enterprise decision-making. Their partnership focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions that combine the strengths of both companies.
One key development is SAS Decision Builder on Microsoft Fabric, a cloud-based intelligent decisioning solution. This tool enables enterprises to make better, faster, and more secure decisions by compiling multiple AI models, rules, and process logic into a composite workflow. By streamlining the analytics lifecycle, SAS Decision Builder helps organizations design, integrate, and deploy models and decisions within the Fabric environment.
Another innovation is SAS Viya Copilot, an AI-driven conversational assistant embedded into the SAS Viya platform through Microsoft Azure AI Foundry integration. This tool democratizes AI, speeds up data and AI development, and provides AI-driven intelligence and decision support. SAS Viya Copilot helps users generate, explain, and annotate SAS code and supports model pipeline development, making it easier for data scientists and business analysts to build AI and analytical models.
The partnership between SAS and Microsoft aims to drive cloud innovation and help customers address complex analytical challenges. By combining their expertise, the two companies can deliver more effective and efficient solutions for enterprises. As the demand for AI-driven decision-making continues to grow, the collaboration between SAS and Microsoft is poised to have a significant impact on the industry.
