SAS Visual Analytics hosted on AWS

ISx4 are an official SAS Partner

SAS Visual Analytics solution that provides Interactive data visualizations to help explore and better understand data. Adding analytics to visualizations uncovers insights buried in data, making it easy to spot patterns and trends that affect the bottom line.

• Understand and share what’s happening with dynamic visuals.
• See the bigger picture and underlying connections.
• Drive business results with data-backed insights.
• Add geographical context to your analyses and visualizations.
• Share and interact with insights when and where you want.

Key Features

Self-service discovery:

• Interactive discovery of relationships, trends, outliers, etc. for business users and analysts.
• Autocharting automatically chooses the graph best-suited to display selected data.
• Analytical visualizations include box plots, heat maps, animated bubble charts,
• network diagrams, correlation matrices, line charts with forecasting, parallel coordi- nates plots, donut charts, decision trees and more.
• Geographical map views provide a quick understanding of geospatial data.
• Network diagrams provide the ability to display networks across a map.
• Reuse and share modifications to your report, such as filters, calculations, hierarchies and report element formatting.
• Create calculated, aggregated or derived data items.
• A resizable overview bar lets you interactively subset a portion of visuals with many data points.
• Bring your own custom interactive visualizations (e.g., D3.js graphs, C3 visualizations or Google charts) into SAS Visual Analytics, so they’re all driven by the same data.
• Key value visualization allows you to display important metrics (numeric or categorical value) in an infographic style for quick reference.
• Perform path analysis (Sankey diagrams) to visualize relationships between a distinct sequence of events.
• Drag an Excel file, CSV or SAS data set onto your workspace and quickly start building reports or dashboards.
• Automated analysis determines which variables contribute to an outcome and provides a simple natural language explanation that is easy to understand.

Self-service analytics:

• Create drillable hierarchies in a self-service manner without the need to predefine user paths.
• Add cell visualizations, like bars and heat maps, to your tables to quickly identify problem points and see trends in your data.
• Forecasts can be generated on the fly with forecasting confidence intervals included.
• Measure details to help you quickly get a feel for your data.
• The most appropriate forecasting model is automatically selected after running multiple models against data.
• Scenario analysis lets you see how changes in di!erent variables would a!ect forecasts.
• Goal seeking lets you to specify a target value for your forecast, and then determines the values of underlying factors that would be required to achieve the target value.
• Decision trees graphically depict likely outcomes. An expert level allows you to modify certain influencing parameters for the tree generation.
• Custom binning for moving continuous data into a small number of groups for better interpretation and presentation of results.
• Text analysis capabilities enable you to automatically find topics and understand sentiment from text sources, including Facebook, Twitter, Google Analytics, YouTube comments and more.
