Data management innovation, and where artificial intelligence fit in, has been top of mind of late.During this week’s SAS Explore event, one of the biggest questions posed was: How might AI technology position SAS Institute Inc. for AI enterprise use cases, products and services?SAS does have a history in artificial intelligence technology. And, that history was on the mind of theCUBE industry analyst Dave Vellante (pictured, left) during the event. SAS is, of course, a company that has a really deep industry presence, he noted.“They span six decades,” he said. “The company was founded in 1976. You’re talking about almost a 50-year-old company … it’s an amazing American story

In the bustling realm of modern technology, where data reigns supreme and artificial intelligence is the catalyst for profound change, SAS Institute Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have developed a partnership that has had a profound impact on the world of enterprise technology.The companies’ collaborative spirit has helped highlight the transformative power of data and AI.“I think working very closely with SAS, we found that there was so many synergies where Microsoft and SAS are both going on these transformative journeys together,” said Michael Glaros (pictured, left), principal program manager for Azure global commercial industry at Microsoft
