model performance

Lots of email Lack of right resources Different code base Inconsistent Lack of
Communications, resulting in between development handshake between common platform
no tracking performance issues and production modeler and validator for all touchpoints

Model Risk is calibrated by placing right level of controls, infrastructure and policies for all the models across businesses through Model Risk
Management - a thorough framework to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor the evolution of model risk across all verticals.

Current System
• SAS 9.4 statistical software is used from model building to monitoring. 98% of the models are already in place.
• In Model life cycle two persona play a key role. modeler: person responsible for model build-&-test and validator: person responsible for model validation

SAS 9.4 In-Prem Support on AWS Cloud (SAS Viya Container) Data Steward

Data Manager

SAS Viya Interoperates with SAS 9.4

• Support for SAS 9.4 data available to SAS Viya.
• Ability to migrate user-defined format catalogs.
• Supports remote submit & run SAS Viya code in SAS 9.4.
• Provides capability for modelers to continue on SAS 9.4 in cloud providing the on-demand model compute environment.

SAS Viya is designed to coexist with SAS 9.4 solutions and the SAS 9 environment. SAS provides a client/server utility called SAS/CONNECT.
The SAS/CONNECT toolset enables users to maintain SAS interoperability across architectures and SAS releases.
