For this episode of Cloud Wars Live, I talked with Oliver Schabenberger, EVP, COO, CTO at SAS.

The Big Themes:

· SAS and Microsoft have an important strategic partnership. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization. SAS’ vision is to transform the world of data into a world of intelligence.

· Digital transformation combined with increased connectivity is driving how to automate and simplify. The deluge of data is all about that.

· It's always a technology problem – but it's never just a technology problem. It's a technology, people, and process problem.

· Dr. Goodnight, the CEO and founder, will make no layoffs or furloughs during the pandemic, and that will never change.

The Big Quote:

“What we're seeing right now is a growth of data in two places – in the cloud and on the edge.”
