Big Data, Cloud, and customer insight are driving more and more investment in analytics projects, but organizations are re-evaluating their traditional choices. We at Alteryx recently kicked off an effort to deliver Analytics Unchained. We are focused on freeing organizations of legacy solutions like SAS. These types of slow moving, proprietary platforms aren’t built to deal with today’s modern business and data environments.
We believe that it is time for organizations to ask some very specific questions before they use SAS. For example can they afford to wait days, weeks, or even months on results before they can make a decision?
What types of analysis do they want to run and who do they really want to run them? Or even how do they deliver results so that they can be consumed by decision makers without any issues.
The answers to these questions show why it is important to make sure you are looking at all possible alternatives in the realm of analytic software. Alteryx has outlined these “5 Questions to Ask Before You Use SAS for Your Next Analytics Project” and proposed an alternative.
You will also find more information on our website about the value customers are getting from Alteryx – and you can try it yourself, either by running sample applications in our cloud offering, Alteryx Analytics Gallery, or if you are a data analyst, then by downloading our free Project Edition to start blending data, using drag-and-drop analytics, and building analytic apps.
