Making it available for all
No matter what industry you are or where you are on your career journey, you can benefit from it. Given this, what can we all do to make sure it is more available and more accessible to everyone?
“The future is He. Now it is. And it is revolutionizing the way we live and work,” said Sas’s marketing chief Jennifer Chase on the last day of Sas Inovate in Orlando.
To help unlock the power of him, SAS is supporting organizations in four main ways:
- Providing training and programs for ready talent.
- Developing the programs that he put in action.
- Providing it in request in cloud.
- Scaling it everywhere for everyone through partnerships.
Let them dive into each area.
Talent
Within the next five years, 70% of the skills needed for most jobs will change, and the most sought after ability for workers is to write and read it, according to Linkedin Research.
Whether you are increasing your current workforce, seeking to hire new talent or study data and analytics at school, SAS offers programs that provide education, training and teaching to ensure that tomorrow’s workforce is empowered.
“We know you are excited to adopt him, but to do so effectively and efficiently you need the right talent,” said Liz Moran, director of global academic programs and certification in SAS. In Moinstage Innovate, LIZ shared three ways SAS is helping students and organizations develops data and skills.
- Independent student – Through open platforms like Coursera, SAS is helping independent students Uppskill and Rescill for Technology Landscape. The existing SAS courses have more than 400,000 records, and SAS is starting new specializations in writing -the read, the cloud analytics and the machinery engineering engineering. One of the last highlights is the responsible and reliable course of the one that was chosen as one of the only 28 roads in the repository of literacy practices for the European Union Reading program.
- Clients and partners – Since every organization is elsewhere in their technology and talent development work, SAS has programs that meet organizations where they are. For example, Truist, a client who uses SAS to combat fraud, is benefiting from numerous training programs. Truist collaborated with Sas Education to evaluate his needs and identified specific training for each team used by SAS. After students have started their training, both live and digital, they can schedule mentoring sessions with SAS training consultants. Truist also participated in numerous universities programs to identify SAS’s new talent judging competitions and joining employer panels.
- Student – SAS has more than 460 official academic partnerships with colleges and universities around the world, adding more than 60 new programs a year for the last four years. To ensure that students are learning to solve problems using advanced technology, SAS is increasing its investments in learning software. Advanced technology in their classes and prepares students for success in a multitool world, including a new SASABOUT ViyaABOUT Students’ work program, which helps teachers learn numerous programming languages in a single environment and compare strengths and outcomes side by side.

In action
Where do you find the use of those who range from speeding out of physical references, identifying children’s abuse online, and stopping disinformation? In Sas Hackathon.
This year’s Sas HACKATHON boasted with 1,731 recorders of more than 70 seats. This led to a high altitude of 145 approved teams that participated in the monthly hack, supported by 110 SAS mentors. The annual Sas HACKATHON was sponsored this year by Sas Microsoft and Intel’s long partners.
“We see the tremendous influence of the world through Sas Hackathon,” said Einar Halvorsen, the global manager of the HACKATHON project in Sas.
Halvorsen and Sas’ Marinela Profi presented the award for Grand Champion.
Team butterflies won for a hack that appreciates the reliability of resources and online news. To create the large language model (LLM), the team from the butterfly data used what he described as “agile methodology”, using Sas Viya, Sas Viya workbench and Sas Viya Copilot, as well as open source tools such as GIT, Python and Visual Code of cooperation studio.

You have as required
It is a strength for good, but every advanced technology comes with challenges.
What if your data is difficult to use, your tools are not integrated, your infrastructure is not approved, or your employees are very busy with applying patches and updates? Then the data and it can be a burden.
The solution to these challenges may be the one in Cloud, explained Jay Upchurch, SAS chief information officer.
“Sas Managed Cloud Services is a service with white gloves for customers who want us to manage their SAS wealth,” Upchurch explained. “But indeed, it is LOT More than that. Each of our Cloud clients has a team that protects and works for them every day. They know the problems, concerns and goals of your business. And they are personally invested in maintaining your SAS environment, while they are also partners with you to provide new advantages of business. “
To explain the benefits of the Cloud services managed by SAS, upchurch welcomed Parxel Cio Jonathan Shough on stage.

Paraxel is a contract research organization focused on the clinical development that works with pharmaceutical and biotechnical organizations to prove the safety and efficiency of medicines and therapeutics in humans through clinical evidence.
“SAS has really become a major part of all the work we do within the activity of clinical development,” Shough said. “This is not a small question. We take that fee very seriously.”
Working with patient data and industry reviews, Shough said it is important to have an application frame that is reliable, can always be calculated to do the necessary work – and allows scientists to do science and software to do mathematics.
“We use SAS for a significant amount of high -level statistical analysis. And we have begun to do a lot. SAS is really a center of our environment and the work we do.”
The escalation of it anywhere for all
Finally, to scaling it far and wide, SAS relies on a network of partners around the world. “We have a partner for your use case, your industry or your specific challenges,” said John Boyd, Vice President of Solution Products Management. “Partners who can work with you to expand the skills available and give real results to your productivity and ultimately.”
Boyd took the audience on a trip across the globe to see the real -world examples of him by Sas Partners:
- Deloitte Helped a large Italian bank with nearly 4 million clients to modernize its money laundering systems. The result? This client is now implementing the automation of decisions for small and medium -sized businesses and plans to expand to the retail bank.
- List of Lloyd Intelligence Processing of Sas Events Flow to Strengthen over 60,000 clients with real -time knowledge. Their solution to the introduction of fleet analytics provides reliable and accurate travel data. The result: Organizations save time, money and sources with detailed information to pursue ships, anticipate their movements and predict port blockage and possible delays – up to minute.
- Alasastacence Works at the forefront of the development of medicines at an early stage. Using SAS, Altacrience has strengthened thousands of health care organizations to interpret complex clinical test data, providing them with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions quickly and accurately. This accelerates the development of medication, but also ensures that any clinical test is built on a basis of reliability and accuracy to provide safer, more effective treatments faster.
- Butterfly Use Sas Viya, Sas Viya workbench and Sas Viya Copilot to develop a tool that helps analysts evaluate data sources for their reliability and reliability. The winner of the above mentioned HACKATHON used it to verify data sources and unreliable information to help users identify which information to use to make decisions.

He anywhere and in the next year
“With the right technology … education … and partnerships, we can make sure it is used to run innovation, increase productivity and create new opportunities for everyone, everywhere,” Chase concluded.
Even as Sas Inovon in Orlando approaches, plans are underway for Sas Inovates in the tour – bringing all this energy and the latest to data in cities around the world.
And looking forward to 2026, Chase announced that next year’s Conference, SAS INOVATE 2026, will be held April 27-30 at the Resort & Convention Gaylord Texan Center.
“If there is one thing, we can promise you. It is that it will be … great!” said Chase.
