SAS places its Decision Builder in the Microsoft Fabric. This allows SAS’ solution to seamlessly access Fabric’s collected data, theoretically making it easier to introduce various AI models.

SAS will integrate Decision Builder with Microsoft Fabric. Fabric is an end-to-end data management and analytics platform that brings together data from various sources. According to SAS, the Decision Builder integration makes it easier for analysts to combine AI models and logic in an AI workflow that can drive decisions in a consistent manner.

SAS illustrates this using an example from the financial industry, where customers can use Decision Builder and Microsoft Fabric to quickly and automatically assess the creditworthiness of a loan applicant. In the manufacturing industry, the combination of both products can ensure that an alarm is triggered in a timely manner when parameters indicate an impending defect.

Simplicity and consistency

This in itself is not new: almost all AI solutions refer to such scenarios to illustrate their added value. The advantage of integration lies in its simplicity. Microsoft Fabric already brings together data sources and makes it possible to inject information anywhere. SAS Decision Builder ensures that users have access to a consistent set of AI models that they can use.
