Choose the right perspective
Match the person's experience to your platform: administrators who ran SAS Grid and SAS 9.4 suit questions about stabilizing an existing estate, while those who deployed SAS Viya on Kubernetes or in AWS suit modernization and migration decisions. Also weigh how recently they held the role and whether they worked in a regulated setting like yours.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you plan and sequence a move from SAS 9.4 or SAS Grid to SAS Viya, and what did you have to rebuild rather than migrate?
- 02What did your day-to-day SAS platform operations look like, including monitoring, user and security administration, and working with SAS Technical Support?
- 03How did you size and tune your SAS environment for performance, and what signals told you it was time to add capacity?
