The top leading firms’ analysts have identified SAS technologies as the kingpin of important business and technology. As organizations consistently consult leading analyst firms for new technologies like Generative AI (GenAI), or vendors for mission-critical functions, such as managing risk, customer loyalty, money laundering, improving marketing, and financial crimes, analysts confirm that choosing SAS was the lowest-risk and highest reward move for any organization.
Here are the awards won by SAS this year (2024):
- SAS Viya AI & Analytics Platform – SAS has designed the latest platform for particular data processing needs, which is cloud-enabled and allows scalable and web-based access. The proposed platform includes an in-memory engine and parallel processing capabilities to enhance execution speed. Gartner’s ‘Magic Quadrant’ for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms has announced SAS as the leader (June 2024) for the ninth consecutive year.

- Forrester Wave Real-Time Interaction Management (RTIM) – According to the report “SAS provides a cutting-edge analytical foundation for enterprise RTIM implementations across vertical sectors” and “its roadmap promises to make the power of predictive and generative AI more easily accessible to knowledge workers and customer-facing resources beyond its usual data science power users.
“Building and maintaining consumer trust is top of mind for many brands today,” said Jonathan Moran, Head of Martech Solutions Marketing at SAS.
“Trust building can only be done with a strong data and technology foundation that helps brands balance the need for customer journey personalization with the ability to respect consumer privacy throughout their journey.” We believe that to be named a leader in this evaluation gives credence to the fact that the vision of responsible engagement—that is, the responsible use of customer data, existing and emerging technologies like generative AI, and organizational resources—is a message that makes sense for those brands looking to strike that balance” As noted in the Forrester report, “SAS incorporates responsible AI into enterprise RTIM deaccessioning.” “Its roadmap promises to make the power of predictive and generative AI more easily accessible to knowledge workers and customer-facing resources beyond its usual data science power users.”
