Services We Offer
Systems Architecture and Design
A solid architectural design is a key requirement to a successful SAS deployment. Cached Consulting has extensive expertise in designing highly performant and reliable IT systems. Whether the requirements call for a large grid installation or a small workgroup deployment, in-house datacenter or on public cloud, we design systems that exceed business requirements in performance, scalability and availability.
Installation, Configuration, Upgrade and Migration
As the business analytics and intelligence hub of a corporation, a SAS environment often contains a complex mix of products, platforms, data inputs and data outputs. We professionally deploy, configure and document our SAS implementations so that your company can immediately begin to realize business value from your new SAS investment. Additionally, we offer skilled SAS upgrade and migration services, when your company looks for the features and technologies available in the latest SAS releases.
Performance Tuning and Monitoring
In today’s fast-moving markets, business analytics and intelligence must be delivered in a timely manner in order to be useful. This means that your SAS system needs to operate at peak performance. We use our team’s deep Enterprise IT experience to help our clients optimize the performance of their SAS installations, even in the most complex datacenter environments.
Platform Management and Administration
Like any other business-critical software in an organization, a SAS deployment will require regular administration and maintenance after installation. New data sources, new users, product patches and general-issue troubleshooting are all part of the SAS software lifecycle. We offer senior-level SAS environment management and administration services to our clients, in both on-demand and ongoing-support models.
