Introduction
Hello, I'm Fezy Fatehi, the CEO of Core and Technology. I want to thank Microsoft for the opportunity to share with the audience about our SAS Ops or SAS operating system. In this presentation, I will briefly introduce SAS Ops, its benefits, and how it works. It's important to note that SAS Ops is a next-gen plug-in-play SAS delivery automation platform that can save software vendors and SAS providers three years of development time.
What is SAS Ops?
SAS Ops, short for SAS Operations, is a groundbreaking platform designed to automate the delivery, enablement, and operation of SAS software applications. It transforms non-SAS software applications into highly automated SAS solutions, elevating existing SAS applications to SAS 2.0. SAS Ops also facilitates the publishing of applications onto Azure Cloud marketplaces, saving months to years of coding and ongoing maintenance.
The Benefits of SAS Ops
3.1 Time-Saving: Transforming Non-SAS Software Applications
One of the key benefits of SAS Ops is its ability to transform non-SAS software applications into SAS solutions within days and without coding. This saves software vendors and SAS providers years of development time. By leveraging SAS Ops, any software application running on the cloud can be effortlessly converted into a highly automated SAS application.
3.2 Cost-Effective: Elevating Existing SAS Applications
SAS Ops not only enables non-SAS applications but also elevates existing SAS applications to the next level. By leveraging the power of SAS Ops, SAS software providers can easily modernize their applications, move to microservices, utilize past services, and perform application re-platforming. This eliminates the need for extensive coding and ongoing maintenance, saving valuable resources.
3.3 Simplified Operations: Publishing Applications to Azure Marketplace
Another significant AdVantage of SAS Ops is its ability to automate the publishing of applications onto Azure Marketplace. With SAS Ops, SAS providers can swiftly publish their applications in an automated fashion, reaching a broader audience and expanding their market presence. This eliminates the complexities and time-consuming processes traditionally associated with publishing applications, ensuring a seamless experience for providers and subscribers alike.
How SAS Ops Works
4.1 Enabling Software as a Service
SAS Ops simplifies the process of enabling software as a service (SaaS). By connecting your software with the SAS Ops platform, your application becomes SAS-enabled. This process can be completed in as little as an hour, provided all prerequisites are in place. SAS Ops scans your software, acquires its details, and transforms it into a SaaS solution. Whether you have a single or multi-tenant architecture, SAS Ops can seamlessly enable your software for SAS delivery.
4.2 Managing SAS Provider Business Operations
SAS Ops provides SAS providers with a comprehensive operations portal. This portal allows providers to manage their tenants, subscriptions, and business operations. It offers features such as tenant management, operations management, continuous evolution, and robust reporting capabilities. Providers can effortlessly monitor and analyze their application's performance, track subscriptions, and generate customized reports to gain valuable insights into their SAS business.
4.3 Providing a Self-Service Experience for Subscribers
In addition to facilitating SAS provider operations, SAS Ops also provides an exceptional self-service experience for subscribers. Subscribers can easily onboard themselves, manage their subscriptions, review invoices, upgrade their plans, and update their payment information. SAS Ops ensures that subscribers have a seamless and personalized experience, allowing them to focus on utilizing the SAS applications without any hassle.
Case Studies
5.1 MyAkC: Democratizing Fintech with SAS Ops
MyAkC, an application developed by IBM and VMware to empower underdeveloped areas of the world with microfinance services, realized the need to transform into SAS to achieve its mission on a global Scale. With the help of SAS Ops and Microsoft Azure, MyAkC successfully became SAS-enabled. This enabled the application's democratization of fintech services and significantly increased its traction worldwide. SAS Ops became the missing link that allowed MyAkC to achieve its goals and expand its reach.
5.2 Blue Stripe: Optimizing Performance with SAS Ops
Blue Stripe, a software application utilized by Microsoft Azure to optimize its cloud performance, faced the challenge of SASification to enhance its offerings. SAS Ops seamlessly SAS-enabled Blue Stripe, enabling Microsoft to maximize its performance capabilities. The successful SASification of Blue Stripe played a pivotal role in Microsoft's decision to acquire the company. SAS Ops proved to be the key to unlocking the full potential of Blue Stripe as a robust SAS solution.
5.3 Boeing Parts Management: Efficient Enterprise Application Deployment
Boeing, a global leader in the aerospace industry, needed a streamlined solution for managing their parts inventory across different divisions and locations. SAS Ops allowed Boeing to SAS-enable their enterprise parts management application, eliminating the need for multiple installations and maintenance efforts. Through SAS Ops, different entities within Boeing could effortlessly subscribe to the application, facilitating efficient and cost-effective parts management processes.
Industry Validation
6.1 IDC Report: The Power of SAS Ops
IDC, a globally recognized industry research firm, published a report highlighting the capabilities and advantages of SAS Ops. The report emphasizes the significant time and cost savings that SAS Ops offers, enabling software providers to accelerate their path to deliver software as a service. By plugging into SAS Ops, providers can avoid the extensive effort and investment required to build their own SAS capabilities.
6.2 KODI Awards: Recognizing SAS Ops as Best Platform as a Service
SAS Ops was honored with the prestigious KODI Award for Best Platform as a Service. This recognition highlights the industry's acknowledgment of SAS Ops as a leading solution that simplifies SAS operations and automates SAS delivery. The KODI Awards, often referred to as the "Academy Awards" of the software industry, recognize excellence and innovation in the IT sector.
6.3 Forbes Book: Democratizing SAS with SAS Ops
