SAS To Databricks
Automated Migration Solution
More than 60% of IT departments are removing legacy systems to modernize and move to cloud – We saw a need to automate conversion of SAS to Databricks – the leading Cloud analytics platform.
SPROCKET is an Enterprise grade SAS to Databricks migration solution trusted by customers worldwide.
The Problem With Legacy SAS
Expensive &
Restrictive
Many SAS customers feel they are being held for ransom by their vendor. They control how much you pay and when. They also charge 10x more than the competition.
Sluggish &
Doesn’t Scale
SAS was a language designed in the days long before the internet or even personal computers. It simply doesn’t work properly in the Cloud or for modern enterprise Big Data.
SAS…
what’s that?
It’s been over 2 decades since SAS has been a standard in university curriculum’s. Most SAS based resources are at or near retirement. Databricks PySpark is the industry standard.
Where’s That
Feature?
All the most popular data science and engineering features and libraries are not built into SAS. It’s not Cloud native, requiring expensive migrations to work in the Cloud.
The Future Is Databricks
Databricks is a unified data science platfrom in the Cloud with unparalleled data processing speed and performance @100X+ faster than legacy.
Supported across all major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP, Databricks combines the best open source tools for data science, with deep expertize and simplified management. It supports the latest innovations in Data warehousing (Lakehouse), data processing, ML, AI, Graph and NLP.
Databricks includes PySpark, a Python API enabling simple, scalable and agile libraries of consistent well-documented components:
⭐ SparkSQL and DataFrames
⭐ Delta Lakes (Lakehouse Engine)
⭐ Structured Streaming
⭐ Spark ML
⭐ Graph (GraphFrames)
⭐ NLP (Spark-NLP)
But Moving Away From SAS is really, really hard
Most SAS migrations end in
Failure and Frustration.
And your vendor knows it!
Many organizations have decades of investment in business logic embedded within SAS code. This can amount to millions of lines of SAS code. SAS is unlike any other analytics tool on the market. You can’t just lift and shift it into another tool.
Global systems integrators and offshore companies charge by the hour. They make a mint, by using a circus of brute force amateurs with little or no expertise in SAS or PySpark. In they end, they will fail, but not before taking lots of your money.
We’ve been trying to move away from SAS for over 5 years, and have gotten almost nowhere
