==Tools==
Analytics tools that are currently available to our SSC users are Power BI (Coming Soon) and SAS.
The EDR can be accessed through both Power BI and SAS.
==='''Power BI'''===
Power BI is a software tool to turn your data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data may be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises data sources. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.
==='''SAS Suite'''===
SAS (Statistical Analysis System) offers a suite of software packages used for statistical analysis and data visualization. The SAS group of computer programs works together to store data values and retrieve them, modify data, compute simple and complex statistical analyses, and create reports.
Whether you're a data scientist, business analyst, statistician or forecaster, you'll discover the real power of SAS® to explore, analyse and visualize data.
The EDR can be accessed with the below suite of SAS tools. Connections to the database have already been made, no special requests are needed to access it after you start using the tool of your choice.
