SAS MODERNIZATION
FROM MONOLITHIC SAS SPRAWL TO GOVERNED
DATA PRODUCTS
Unlock the full potential of your historical data by migrating monolithic SAS footprints directly to modern cloud architectures. Next Pathway isolates, deconstructs, and automatically refactors complex SAS macros, datasets, and custom routines into clean, model-ready code optimized natively for your target platform.

The Enterprise Checklist for a Faster, Smarter SAS Modernization Journey.
Built for Clarity
Our Proprietary technology moves every layer of your SAS estate automatically, from initial scan to final cutover.
Map
Automatically crawl your entire SAS ecosystem to extract complex business logic hidden inside nested SAS User Interfaces and SAS code and map column-level data lineage. Evaluate historical SAS execution logs, automatically determining which scripts and hardcoded libraries should be migrated to which cloud technologies.
Data Product Definition
Utilize our proprietary technology to design modular data products considering domain ownership, data consumption and isolation of concerns.
Build & Test
Use our proprietary SLMs to automatically generate data product code execution blocks, run automated technical testing against synthetic datasets to ensure analytical parity, and push code into your target CI/CD pipeline. Then perform automated reconciliation testing between the on-premise legacy SAS estate and the cloud to ensure that any and all regulatory compliance needs are met, all whilst complying with data security and governance requirements required of production data.
The Foundation
Next Pathway utilizes its proprietary technology to deconstruct legacy SAS environments, converting complex spaghetti-like code into modular, maintainable cloud native code.
Modernization in Motion
Our proprietary Technology continuously maps usage and lineage to isolate your highest-value workloads, refactoring them into certified, reusable Data Products
OUTPUT TYPES
Customer 360
Consolidates tables, views, feeds, and schemas scattered across CRM, billing, and support into one governed view.
Risk & Compliance
Reconstructs ETL jobs, scripts, and stored procedures into auditable, lineage-tracked reporting.
Operations
Streamlines fragmented reports, marts, and batch jobs into one operational source of truth.
PLATFORM COVERAGE
How We Modernize Any SAS System
Legacy Enterprise SAS platforms are comprised of at least six deeply coupled infrastructure layers. We isolate and deconstruct each layer to engineer a native, optimized technology on your target platform.
Data Access
We eliminate proprietary SAS file dependencies and hardcoded libname statements, transitioning your data access layer to modern cloud ingestion tools like Fivetran, and Airbyte.
Language & Transformation
Complex SAS Data Step code, SAS Procedures and macro code is systematically refactored into optimized Snowflake SQL and Snowpark Python.
Analytics & Models
Statistical modeling procedures, analytical scoring logic, and mathematical procedures are cleanly ported to modern cloud technologies including Dataiku DSS, AutoML, and MLOps registries.
Reporting & Visualization
SAS Web Report Studio, reports based on the SAS Output Delivery Systems (ODS) and other static reporting layouts are re-engineered into dynamic, live data workbooks on Sigma.
Scheduling & Orchestration
SAS proprietary scheduling technologies, batch processing scripts and cron-driven workflows are unpicked and reconstructed into modern, cloud-native automated workflow orchestrators like Apache Airflow.
Security & Governance
Access Controls defined in the SAS Metadata Service are migrated where feasible into unified cloud governance frameworks utilizing role-based access controls (RBAC) and semantic layers.
Choose Your Path
Lift the entire estate to a modern cloud platform, with 1:1 parity proven before cutover.
