Long-established WPS Analytics features, including the built-in SAS language compiler, have focused on programming and scripting to perform data-related tasks. New to version 4 is an interactive visual interface for data-related programming and predictive modelling.

Powered by the fast and scalable WPS Analytics Processing Engine, these new visual features make managing and understanding data easier and faster. A host of robust machine learning algorithms accompany the new visual toolset.

Version 4 also sees the launch of the WPS Analytics Hub, offering secure, centralised data security management with a repository and publishing service for programs and models deployed to on-demand production use.
