SAS Data Quality -- Data Management Studio

A data curator's job is to understand and prepare data for use in analytics and reports. SAS has several of ferings that can aid in this ef fort.

The technology components that comprise SAS data quality offerings include:

• DataFlux Data Management Studio – a Windows-based desktop client application that enables you to create and manage processes for ensuring the accuracy and consistency of data during

the data management life cycle. Typically, Data Management Studio is thought of as the development environment.

• DataFlux Data Management Server – provides a scalable server environment for executing the processes created in Data Management Studio. Typically, Data Management Server is thought

of as the production environment.

• SAS Quality Knowledge Base (QKB) – a collection of files and algorithms that provide the data cleansing and data management functionality that is surfaced through the nodes in Data

Management Studio processes.

• Reference data source(s) – third-party address verif ication, enrichment, and geo-coding databases available to validate and enhance your data.

• DataFlux repository – storage location for objects created and executed in Data Management Studio. Data Management Server also needs a repository of objects that will be available (and

run) on the server.

Note: Data Management Studio and Data Management Server do not share a repository. Each component needs its own repository.
