Why Modernize?
Why Organizations Migrate Away from SAS
The motivations driving organizations to transition away from SAS are rooted in both strategic and practical considerations, reflecting the evolving demands of today’s data-driven landscape. The reasons organizations choose to migrate away from SAS share common threads. Key drivers include:
While SAS has long been a leader in data analytics, companies increasingly recognize the advantages of modern, cloud-native platforms that enable flexibility, scalability, and integration. As organizations assess their long-term analytics strategy, they’re finding that SAS’s legacy structure often limits their ability to innovate, adapt, and efficiently manage resources.
Why Organizations Adopt Modern Platforms
Organizations are moving away from legacy platforms to embrace the agility, scalability, and elasticity of cloud-native, open platforms. Modern environments support a broader talent pool familiar with open-source tools, making it easier to attract and retain skilled professionals. By avoiding high licensing and infrastructure costs, companies can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership and resource expenses. Modern platforms also offer built-in governance and compliance controls, improving data management and security. Ultimately, this shift enables organizations to reduce manual data and ETL work by up to 70%, freeing teams to focus on advanced analytics and generative AI initiatives.
