Moving from SAS to R? Translating the code is only part of the job. You also need somewhere for it to run, the right access controls, and a plan for the scheduled jobs your SAS server quietly handles. That is where we come in. jumpingrivers.com/contact #RStats #DataEngineering

AI in Production is for people who have deployed AI and can answer the harder questions: Did it work? Was it worth the cost? What broke? What needed monitoring or guardrails? Newcastle, 10–11 June 2027. CFP closes 29 Jan. www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/ai-in-p... #AIinProduction #MachineLearning

SAS stays in clinical research, banking and insurance because it is trusted and built into critical processes. Moving away means understanding workflows, dependencies and validation first. Read more in this blog post by Gigi Kenneth: www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/is-sas-...
