Data acquisition is the starting point of every project. This establish a connection between the data and the process you're working on. At BeOptimized, we have acquired excellent expertise in these jobs (in SAS, as well as in Data Integration Studio or Python Pandas). We have been using them for many years. This includes:
  • Collecting data from multiple systems (files, databases, applications) and transforming it into a format that can be consistently used.
  • Defining quality checks to ensure that the data matches business rules and process requirements.
  • Combining data efficiently using the most suitable approach, whether directly in the database, in memory, or with traditional methods.
  • Preserving historical information by implementing best practices for managing changes over time (Slowly Changing Dimensions).
  • Loading and updating data efficiently so databases remain current and reliable.
  • Analyzing the impact of changes to understand how data updates affect other systems and processes.
  • Creating business Data Marts to simplify data access within the Data Warehouse.
  • Creating reliable data dictionaries to help users navigate large Data Warehouses.
  • Creating automatic documentation by scanning code and extracting relevant information (inputs/outputs, locations, context, etc.).
  • Scheduling tasks so data flows run automatically and on time.
  • Promoting solutions across environments with structured packaging and deployment methods.
According Gartner, SAS Anti-Money Laundering is one of the best anti-money laundering platform in the world !
Over the past 17 years we implemented this solution for various customers across Europe. In both banking and insurance sectors, we have helped our customers use the solution in the most optimal way. Thanks to this experience, we learned how the compliance world is working and could leverage this know-how with or without this solution.
In essence we can help you:
  • Create a customer datamart containing all complicance need to perform investigation using had-hoc queries
  • Automatically load watchlist(DowJones, Worldcheck, custom list, sanction list...) in tables and manage daily deltas
  • Perform real time check of customer data against watch list to qualify customer risk profile and trigger alerts for high or medium risks
  • Analyse customer transactions, create customer profiles and use red flag scenarios to trigger alerts
  • Use Analytics/GenAI to reduce the number of false positives alerts
  • Generate customer 360 reports to help compliance users in their investigations
  • Monitor the alert generation process in order to optimize the alert flow
  • Create regulatory report automatically for all suspicious activity reports

Our analytics process transforms raw data into actionable insights that directly support decision-making. Key steps include:
  • Understanding the business challenge before diving into the data, ensuring the analysis is aligned with real objectives.
  • Building a solid analytical foundation, where data is structured in an Analytical Base Table and prepared for advanced modeling.
  • Utilization of the SEMMA/EMSMA Methodology to create and select the best analytical (supervised and unsupervised) model
    • Ensuring data samples are balanced and representative
    • Detecting and correcting anomalies, missing values, and inconsistencies.
    • Choosing the right approach (e.g., customer segmentation, forecasting, predictive models).
    • Leveraging machine learning techniques (such as regression, decision trees, and advanced algorithms like neural networks or deep learning) to identify patterns and predict outcomes.
  • Evaluating models with clear performance metrics, making sure results are both accurate and practical.
  • Deploying models into day-to-day operations so insights can be used seamlessly by teams and systems.
  • Regularly updating and recalibrating models to reflect today’s reality and keep predictions accurate over time.
Thanks to the end-to-end approach of the SAS BI framework/SAS Viya and our expertise with these tools, we deliver reports that best reflect the data you're working with. From static printable reports to interactive web-based reports, we master the entire data lifecycle.
You are not a SAS user? No problem, we also have experience with Plotly DASH in Python !
  • Turning data into insights by creating dashboards and reports that support strategic and operational decisions.
  • Designing KPIs and performance indicators that reflect business goals and make progress measurable.
  • Building interactive dashboards that allow managers to explore data visually and uncover trends, opportunities, or risks.
  • Automating reporting processes, reducing manual work and freeing teams to focus on analysis instead of data preparation.
  • Providing self-service BI tools, enabling business users to explore data independently without depending on IT for every request.
  • Monitoring business performance in real time, ensuring quick reactions to changes in the market or operations.
  • Securing access to sensitive information, making sure the right people see the right data at the right time.
Generative AI amplifies human creativity and productivity, turning complex data into actionable insights and content. It enables faster innovation and smarter decision-making, giving organizations a competitive edge.
At BeOptimized we access Large Language Models (LLM) directly from their API from the Python language. From this point we can either deliver one shot answers to business questions, augment the prompt context with company information using RAG or even use an agentic framework like Langchain to put intelligence in the process.
This allows you to:
  • Enhancing productivity by automating content creation, reporting, and routine data analysis.
  • Generating insights and recommendations from large datasets, supporting smarter decision-making.
  • Creating personalized customer experiences through tailored communications, offers, or interactions.
  • Reducing operational costs by automating repetitive tasks and workflows.
  • Improving data accessibility by converting complex data into clear summaries or narratives.
  • Augmenting employee capabilities rather than replacing them, freeing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
At BeOptimized, we master everything a customer should know to leverage the power of the SAS Viya platform . We can assist you with migrating from Base SAS to Viya, using the platform to develop new codes, reports, models, or analyses, and coaching you to fully take advantage of this particular SAS release. More information can be found here
More preciselly, we can help you to:
  • Migration of SAS codes, reports and data from SAS9 to Viya.
  • Convert codes so that you can leverage the power of the platform
  • Understand the graphical user interface and use it more efficenlty
  • Guide you through the new Kubernetes-based architecture: help you gather logs and metrics, navigate in the cluster, pods, or containers
In recent years, we have seen more and more companies eager to convert their SAS processes into Python. At BeOptimized, we love both programming languages and can help you with that translation process. More information can be found here but basically we can help you:
  • In the translation of SAS code into Python codes (and Vice Versa)
  • In the validation/confirmation that the resutls are the same
