Case Study: CSI‑Piemonte achieves timelier, smarter public health care decisions with SAS

Public administrators in Italy make effective use of big data with SAS

CSI‑Piemonte, the public‑sector ICT consortium for Italy’s Piedmont region, helps local administrations share and analyze vast, growing datasets—from conventional databases to images, streaming media, health pictorials and environmental sensors. Its challenge was to turn these heterogeneous big‑data sources into usable knowledge and timely intelligence to improve public services, reduce costs and meet SLA/24/7 operational needs.

CSI deployed SAS High‑Performance Analytics and SAS Grid Manager, leveraging distributed, in‑database and in‑memory computing to centralize platform management, prioritize workloads and run multiple applications without disruption. The result is faster, more complex analyses and better data sharing across agencies, delivering timelier insights, smarter public‑service decisions, improved business continuity and lower operational overhead.
