Cloud Analytics Platform for Data as a Service (DaaS) Re-engineering

This is a service contract from the software vendor SAS comprising of two elements: 1. The first is for 40 licenses for SAS Visual Statistics with Studio Engineer and (Redacted) report viewer licences (for ADaaS front end users). This package will grant similar functionality to today and this conclusion was arrived at having analysed requirements across DaaS teams. 2. The second element is for the 'SAS Application Management' Service which provides application and platform level support for this software package. Although capability will exist in time within Data as a Service to manage these applications wholly ourselves, we require a level of support in the early stages to handle the initial go live of the service, so supplier to provide 6 months of this support.
