Overview

This engagement is necessary because SAS is the primary tool for all SDO business analysis and reporting and has been in use in SDO Branch since around 2014. The product is now used for complex analysis across SDO through extracting information and metadata from SDO production databases for reporting and providing business insights to the leadership team. The SAS software version that is being currently used is a basic desktop software and is showing its limitations - slow response times, breaks frequently, has limited functionality and has several security and privacy risks. The upgrade will be the interim solution (MVP) till such time that Te Ara Manaaki investigate and implement a new analytical tool. SAS are the only service providers for the SAS software.
