SAS Consulting

ThotWave specializes in the implementation of SAS solutions. We have been a SAS Alliance Partner since 1995 and many on our staff have used SAS for over 20 years. In fact, the average tenure of a SAS consultant at ThotWave is 14 years.

As a consultancy, we have the opportunity to work in diverse environments and understand the unique challenges that our customers face every day. Our immersion in various industries and exposure to different ways each customer employs SAS has helped us become a premier organization that specializes in making SAS do marvelous things.

As a SAS customer, you have recognized the value that good software can bring to your organization. You probably chose SAS for one or more of the following reasons:

  • data management
  • reporting and analysis
  • open architecture (integration)

Most of the clients we work with want to use SAS for managing production processes such as risk management, financial reporting and analysis, customer intelligence or as a tool for evaluating performance against strategy. These applications tend to be mission critical and require 100% uptime to ensure that the application they have selected as their "decision support tool" solidly and reliably supports their business.

Other clients use SAS for quantitative modeling in an almost ad-hoc way. This includes analyzing data, running models, re-running and re-analyzing results. At ThotWave, we understand that while there is a long continuum between ad-hoc and production analytics, the need for reliability and robustness in those processes are paramount to getting the most out of SAS.

As a consultancy, we specialize in understanding your business problems and how software like SAS can be used to facilitate problem solving. We combine our expertise in SAS, web technologies like Java and .Net, data modeling and databases, software engineering, project management and visual arts to solve problems every day. We provide solutions, not just technology counsel.

   SAS 9.2 Migration - Are you ready to take advantage of the new SAS 9.2 features? Are you looking to upgrade from SAS 8 or 9.1.3 to the newest SAS 9.2 platform? Migration to the latest version of SAS 9.2 has been redesigned to be a smooth as possible allowing your business to have minimum downtime. Let ThotWave use its experience to help facilitate your migration and keep your edge over your competitors.

   Outsourced SAS Administration - A capable SAS Administrator is a key component for an optimal installation of the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform. The SAS Administrator manages all of the individual technology components to ensure that the environment is performing perfectly. This includes managing at least server side configuration and optimization, links to databases and authentication directories, web-based java applications and the security measures for the resources accessed. A productive SAS Administrator will also need skills beyond technology. In order to fully support the organization’s SAS users the SAS Administrator will also need to be a good communicator and a capable project manager. Finding individuals to fill the SAS Administrator role is not always a simple task as the mix of skills required is unique.
