## Summary

SAS and CBTW are launching a managed offering of the SAS Viya data analytics and AI platform, aimed at European SMEs and mid-sized companies. The offering runs on STACKIT, the Schwarz Digits cloud, which is hosted exclusively in Europe and subject to European law, and is therefore presented as a sovereign solution.
