Smart migration with GenAI and a clear target architecture

The Tool to Support Your SAS Migration

Not just conversion. We turn SAS logic into robust, verifiable target code - structured and up to 75% automated.

Prompt in – code out?

Unfortunately, no. Simply pasting SAS code into an AI tool may give you rough suggestions at best – but not a stable migration. Target architectures are ignored, logical structures get lost, and errors go undetected.

That’s why we take a different approach. With our migration tool, we use GenAI precisely where it adds value and complement it with structured methods, templates, and project experience.

Automate SAS Code Migration – with a Structured Approach

Unser Tool unterstützt Unternehmen bei der Migration komplexer SAS-Logik – automatisiert, architekturkonform und dokumentierbar. Vom ersten Analyse-Schritt bis zur produktionsreifen Umsetzung.

Your Benefits at a Glance:

1

Faster & More Cost-Effective

A high level of automation reduces effort and cost.

2

Aligned with the target architecture

Target code tailored to your platform and integrated for production readiness.

3

Transparent

Optionally documented target code logic for maximum traceability.

Developed from real project experience, the tool is designed for companies with extensive SAS codebases aiming for stable, scalable migration.

Technology partner aligned with your target architecture

As a certified partner, we work with leading platforms:

The Process

Your SAS migration step by step

he tool is built around a clear process. From initial analysis through to target code delivery, we streamline every step – reducing manual effort and saving valuable time.

Analyzing your SAS codebase

Our parser identifies structures, macros, and logic, creating a semantic syntax tree as the basis for migration.

Code Generation with Agentic AI

With Agentic AI and our developed strategy system, even complex code is transformed into stable, understandable target code.

Automated Batch Processing

Robust batch processing features ensure efficiency, even when working with thousands of files.

Architecture-Compliant Output

Target code that automatically conforms to your architecture, including structure, import logic, and compliance with standards.

Documentation of Results (Optional)

Metadata and translation logic ensure full transparency for validation, transfer, and further use.

If you want to see how this journey could look for your company, we’d be happy to discuss it.

Select the target architecture – don’t just adapt to it

Every target platform has its own requirements for structure, integration, and execution. Our migration tool automatically takes these differences into account. The result is not generic target code but tailored templates and structures for your system environment.

Examples

Jupyter

Code für interaktive Datenanalyse

SAS code is translated into clear, documented Python cells that run seamlessly in JupyterHub or VS Code.

MS Fabric

Fully Compatible with the Microsoft Ecosystem

Our target code is designed for seamless integration across Microsoft services.

Airflow

Workflow Control for ETL and DAGs

SAS processes are transformed into executable DAGs, perfectly suited for time- or data-triggered jobs.

Dagster

Pipelines for Productive Workflows

Complex logic is translated into modular assets—easy to orchestrate and seamlessly integrable into existing data engineering setups.

FastAPI

Service Deployment with a Clear Interface

Target code is delivered as an API endpoint—modular, fully documented, and easy to maintain in production.

Your Benefit

Our templates are designed to fit your target architecture, not force your architecture to adapt. Take advantage of ready-made scenarios and collaborate with us to create custom templates aligned with your platform.

FAQs – Answers to Your Questions

What sets our SAS Migration Tool apart from generic AI code converters?

Our migration tool is based on semantic code analysis and takes into account target architecture, platform requirements, and system logic. The result is not generic output, but production-ready target code.

How exactly does the tool work?

The tool performs a semantic analysis of your SAS codebase, derives the target structure, applies templates, and generates documented target code. Complex macros and structures are also taken into account.
