What is SAS Information Map Studio? SAS Information Map Studio creates information maps — business metadata that translates your warehouse and data structures into terms that business users can understand, enabling consistency and self-sufficiency in getting the information needed to drive decisions.

Why are SAS information maps important? SAS information maps provide a business metadata layer that enables your business users to ask questions and get answers themselves. This frees IT resources from one-time reporting requests and reduces the need to provide training in programming and database structures.

For whom is SAS Information Map Studio designed? SAS Information Map Studio is designed for information architects and query designers who need to create and manage information maps (business metadata) to enable self-service information access by business users.
