Management Summary
For a leading financial services organization, HMS modernized a business-critical SAS environment and supported the transition from on-premises to SAS Viya. The scope of work ranged from cloud infrastructure and automation to code modifications, ops readiness, testing, and compliance reviews.
The Starting Point
A leading financial services organization needed to modernize its SAS-based platforms and transition them to a cloud-based target environment. The pressure to act was high: Fixed shutdown dates for the existing on-premises platform left little leeway, while programs, projects, and data all had to be fully migrated.
The situation was further complicated by a corporate spin-off. Permissions, user accounts, email structures, subscriptions, and GitHub configurations had to be factored into the migration plan. The new environment not only had to function technically but also had to comply with regulatory requirements and internal governance guidelines.
For business units, IT architecture, and governance leaders, this required robust planning, transparent dependencies, and close coordination across technical and organizational boundaries.
The HMS Solution
SAS Viya Migration with Cloud Infrastructure, Governance, and Operational Approval
HMS provided technical, organizational, and methodological support for the migration. Our contributions ranged from project management and stakeholder communication to setting up the Azure-based target environment and preparing for operational approval.
Our Strengths, Your Benefits
SAS Migration in a Regulated Financial Environment
In this project, HMS combined SAS expertise, cloud engineering, and experience with regulated environments. Our contribution extended beyond the migration itself to include the management of a complex project involving numerous business, technical, and organizational dependencies.
