David Bowie will be analytics company SAS’ vice-president Australia and New Zealand for a year come January 2018. The year has been characterised by growth and customer success, underpinned by the continued commitment to being a terrific place to work.

Dr Jim Goodnight, co-founder and chief executive of SAS, has been at the helm for the past 41 years. Under his guidance and some very astute management philosophies, the company has become the largest privately owned, pure-play company in the big data and analytics space.

The cloud-based suite SAS Viya, launched last year and used to build predictive models and agile machine learning applications, has had much more capability added to it.

 SAS Viya is the new, modern, cloud ready, next-generation high-performance analytics and visualization architecture designed for all skill levels, scalable to any size, and built for big data challenges like machine learning.
