FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 10, 2020 – Ottawa, Canada: WiseWithData, leaders in legacy SAS migration, announces the successful completion of the largest automated SAS code migration in history for TransUnion, a global credit bureau. Over the past 12 months, over 400,000 lines of legacy SAS code was migrated to PySpark. Data warehouses, model scoring code, analytical and end-user processes, along with customer extract processes, all tested and delivered on-time with outstanding accuracy. This is the largest use case to date of the technology, and reinforces the advantages of our automation.
Comments:
“What a tremendous accomplishment for the whole team. It’s such an exciting moment to look back, the creativity and dedication that the team has had over the past few years in bringing about this historical moment. Delivering such a complex project, with each and every milestone being on-time, really validates the 3 tiered automated methodology we’ve developed. Without SearchParty, Robot and Validator, this achievement wouldn’t have been possible.
As big of an achievement as this was, it really only scratches the surface of the needs in the market. With billions of lines of code still to be migrated to free our customers of the burden of 50 year old legacy technologies, we have our work cut out for us. But, with the recent improvements in our automation, we are well positioned to scale out to millions of lines per year.”
