SAS Analytics for IoT is a new package of proven software products that applies SAS’ core expertise of analyzing massive amounts of data to IoT connected sensors and devices. SAS Analytics for IoT helps organizations interpret rapidly moving and accumulating data, and confidently make decisions based on that data. The resulting gains – such as improved safety and reduced injuries or enhanced product quality – translate into healthier profits.
Shukri Dabaghi, Regional Director for the Middle East and Francophone Africa, SAS said, “The region is waking up to the ways in which IoT and data analysis provide innovative methods to serve their business’s customers in an increasingly enhanced way. Data analysis and its appropriation for enterprise is a strategic tool for companies’ decision makers to glimpse the future and act accordingly to meet customer needs and expectations.”
Dan Vesset, IDC Group Vice President for Analytics and Information Management said, “To meet the needs of enterprises engaged in creating sensor data, it’s important to keep analytics front and center. Without predictive analytics at the edge and in the enterprise network, it will be difficult for any organization to realize the full potential represented by the IoT. That’s where SAS’ offering makes a lot of sense – whether the organization involved is engaged in manufacturing, energy, retail or any other industry that’s putting sensing devices into play.”
