SAS Data Management allows you to access your data regardless of where it is stored. You can create data management rules once and then reuse them. This gives you a consistent, repeatable way to improve and integrate data without extra cost. It's easy to get involved in tasks that are not your normal duties as an IT expert. SAS Data Management allows your business users to update data and tweak processes, as well as analyze results. This frees you up to work on other projects. A built-in business glossary, along with SAS and third-party metadata management, and lineage visualization capabilities, keeps everyone on the same page. SAS Data Management technology is fully integrated. This means that you don't have to use a solution that has been thrown together. All components of SAS Data Management technology, from data quality to federation technology, are part and parcel of the same architecture.
