SLC. A Strategic Alternative to SAS for Life Sciences

Run your existing SAS programs with minimal change—while reducing costs and modernizing your analytics environment.

The Challenge

Life sciences organizations depend on SAS for analytics, clinical reporting, and regulatory workflows. But increasing data volumes, rising licensing costs, and rigid infrastructure are making it harder to scale efficiently.

The Solution: Siemens SLC + SLC Hub

Siemens SLC (SAS Language Compiler) is a modern, enterprise-grade alternative designed to run existing SAS code with little to no modification.

  • Maintain your current workflows
  • Avoid costly rewrites and retraining
  • Transition to scalable, cloud-based analytics
  • Improve performance and cost efficiency

Why It Works

Through a strategic partnership, Court Square Group, Siemens, and Triam deliver a complete, low-risk path from evaluation to production.

You get:

  • High compatibility with existing SAS programs
  • Lower long-term software and infrastructure costs
  • Built-in support for GxP and regulatory requirements
  • AI-assisted development (SAS, R, Python)
  • Scalable, cloud-based architecture
  • A clear, auditable path to production

Rapid Target Pilot: Evaluate Before You Commit

Validate SLC in your real-world environment—without disrupting current operations.

  • Run in parallel with existing SAS systems
  • Identify compatibility gaps with automated code analysis
  • Validate outputs side-by-side
  • Establish a production-ready migration path

This is not a demo—it’s a practical, compliance-aligned evaluation designed for regulated environments.

We are usually asked about

What is Siemens SLC and how does it compare to SAS?

Siemens SLC (SAS Language Compiler) is an enterprise analytics platform designed to execute existing SAS programs with little or no code changes. It provides a drop‑in alternative to SAS while enabling cloud scalability, modern analytics architectures, and lower long‑term licensing costs.

Why are life sciences companies looking for alternatives to SAS?

Many life sciences organizations face rising SAS licensing costs, rigid compute models, and limited cloud flexibility. As data volumes and regulatory timelines increase, teams seek more scalable and cost‑effective platforms that still support existing validated workflows.

Can Siemens SLC run existing SAS programs without rewriting code?

Yes. Siemens SLC is specifically engineered to execute current SAS programs with high compatibility, often requiring minimal or no remediation. This allows teams to preserve validated logic, reduce migration risk, and avoid retraining analytics staff.

Is Siemens SLC suitable for GxP regulated and clinical workloads?

Yes. When deployed in a validated environment such as Court Square Group’s Audit Ready Compliant Cloud (ARCC), Siemens SLC supports GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and regulatory inspection requirements. The platform is designed to maintain data integrity, traceability, and audit readiness.

What is a Rapid Target Pilot for Siemens SLC?

A Rapid Target Pilot is a focused proof‑of‑concept designed to evaluate SLC compatibility, performance, and cost benefits using real SAS workloads. It runs in parallel with existing systems to validate outputs and establish a clear, auditable path to production.

How does the Rapid Target Pilot reduce migration risk?

The pilot uses code analysis and side‑by‑side validation to identify compatibility gaps early. This allows organizations to understand remediation effort, confirm regulatory alignment, and make informed decisions before committing to full production migration.

Can Siemens SLC support modern analytics tools like R and Python?

Yes. Siemens SLC includes support for SAS, R, and Python workflows and offers tools such as Copilot Assistants to help modernize analytics without abandoning existing investments. This enables hybrid and future‑ready analytics architectures.

Can SLC be run alongside existing SAS systems?

Yes. SLC can be deployed in parallel with existing SAS environments, enabling phased adoption and side‑by‑side validation. This approach reduces operational risk and supports controlled, regulator‑friendly transitions.
