"SAS' proven expertise in this area makes them uniquely suited to deliver the technology – and answers – users seek."

What it does:

• Access decision flows, design business logic in an accessible low-code editor and use advanced analytics like machine learning, forecasting optimization and more, combined with the power of large language models to manage and complete the decisioning lifecycle.
• Utilize key capabilities from Microsoft Fabric, including Power BI, for reporting or other tools in concert with SAS Decision Builder, securely within Fabric.

• Use automation to deploy decisions quickly using scalable containers for cross-industry use cases that require either batch or real-time decisioning.

"Our deep integration with Microsoft Fabric helps customers bring their AI models into production to make real-time decisions that have an actual impact on their business and bottom line," said Shadi Shahin, Vice President of Product Strategy at SAS. "From financial services to manufacturing and beyond, SAS Decision Builder on Microsoft Fabric provides a flexible experience that helps users make the most out of their data and AI investments."
