“Data Management Optimization”
HSBC engaged Zentricx to act as an intermediary in the planning and execution of the installation of the SAS VIYA 3.5 tool, with the goal of generating data models using both SAS and Python code.
THE CHALLENGE
Three lines of work were outlined: installation and acquisition of Viya® licenses, advising on best practices for use, and supporting HSBC staff in using the SAS® Viya® Platform and the selected components to meet the client’s needs.
HSBC, based on their optimization needs, requested the installation and implementation of Viya® to leverage the capabilities offered by Machine Learning models. As a result, Zentricx, in collaboration with SAS Professional Services, recommended the requirements for the installation and implementation of Viya® on a Time and Materials
basis to assist them in installing the platform, helping HSBC’s team proactively manage the platform, and providing the necessary advice to fully utilize the installed software.
THE SOLUTION
The SAS Viya 3.5 platform was installed on an On-Premise server set up by HSBC, with the necessary licensing for the proposed tools. In parallel, Zentricx and HSBC’s team jointly managed the request for the appropriate licensing for the software use.
Additionally, the project scope was modified at the bank’s request to assist in the installation of JupyterHub, leaving the configuration in their hands.
Zentricx participated in the project alongside the platform owner, SAS, acting as a specialist intermediary to facilitate the successful implementation of the project.
THE RESULT
HSBC highlighted the optimization achieved in the construction of analytical models, thanks to the solution’s combination of SAS and Python code. This solution represented a technological improvement within the bank, thanks to the implementation of SAS Visual Machine Learning tools.
