SAS launches Decision Builder on Microsoft Fabric

Substation Automation System (SAS) made its cloud-based Decision Builder generally available on Microsoft Fabric, enabling organizations to run AI-driven decision workflows against enterprise data stored within Fabric.

The PR said that as customers worked to move Artificial Intelligence (AI) models into production, Decision Builder helped address the last-mile problem by streamlining the analytics lifecycle and enabling business analysts and domain experts to design, integrate and deploy models and decisions.

On Fabric, Decision Builder provided access to decision flows and a low-code editor and combined analytics such as Machine Learning (ML), forecasting and optimization with large language models to manage the decision lifecycle. The offering also supported reporting with Power BI, testing and refinement using enterprise data in OneLake, and governance features to track data flows and explain how decisions were reached.

SAS made the workload available on Fabric and described automation to deploy decisions using scalable containers for either batch or real-time execution, supporting cross-industry use cases that required batch or real-time decisioning.

“SAS Decision Builder introduces a decision intelligence solution to Microsoft Fabric at a time when customers are looking to their data to help them make confident, trustworthy decisions,” said Kathy Lange, AI Software Research Director at IDC. “SAS' proven expertise in this area makes them uniquely suited to deliver the technology – and answers – users seek.”

The organizations described plans to orchestrate models, rules and LLM-powered logic in a low-code experience and to operationalize trustworthy, governed decisions across Fabric workspaces in real time or batch.
