Patent Pending
CEPHEUS C2

One toolchain. Your entire SAS estate.
Converted, verified, yours to run.

A single engine translates your entire SAS codebase to open-source Python (Pandas) or PySpark, with the migration proven against your own data - no partial conversions, no ongoing licence.

C2 Enterprise Migration Engine
Why Now

The cost of staying on SAS compounds every year

Licensing fees

SAS carries recurring licence costs with no ceiling as usage and users grow.

Talent and support

SAS expertise is harder to source and retain with each passing year.

Platform direction

Modern data and AI infrastructure is built around open-source foundations, not proprietary platforms.

The real risk isn't migration - it's migrating blind. Critical business logic is often buried in SAS code the original architects left behind long ago.

Our Assurance. Delivered Differently

The Code is migrated.
The Business Logic is preserved and documented.

Most SAS migration vendors hand back comments or stubs where the logic should be - a flag for your team to finish by hand.

C2 removes the guesswork - no hunting logic, no manual reconstruction. A proven, de-risked migration process that preserves and documents your business logic, start to finish. Cepheus converts the entire estate, with nothing left unresolved.

Most SAS Migration Vendors

  • Use "accelerators" - complex logic is replaced with comments flagging manual work.
  • Limited, manual dependency analysis during conversion.
  • Don't commit to full conversion - outcomes are partial or assisted.

Cepheus C2

  • True code translation - no stubs, no shortcuts, nothing left as homework.
  • Identifying 100% SAS lineages, and dependencies are mapped before conversion begins.
  • End-to-end conversion of the entire estate. No exclusions.

How It Actually Works

Automated Conversion. Complete Reconciliation.
Every Time

90%+ automated conversion

C2 automates the bulk of the estate, directing human-in-the-loop (HITL) effort to the exceptions that need it.

Reusable reconciliation scripts for auditability

Our reconciliation framework generates comparison reports that give teams a repeatable, audit-ready way to verify the migrated estate on demand.

Tested rules applied at scale

Once a conversion rule has been proven, C2 reuses it consistently across every relevant workflow, substantially reducing testing efforts.

Full estate ownership

Complex and tightly coupled scripts are not excluded from scope, unlike most vendors in the market. We preserve the entirety of your business logic across the migration.

De-Risked Migration for Complex SAS Estates

Automated conversion. Reusable rules. Built-in reconciliation. One proven process, designed to handle SAS estates with millions of lines of code.

This depth of process refinement is what sets our approach apart. It's how we consistently deliver the entire SAS estate migrated end-to-end, on terms you can plan around.

Cepheus Engineering

Engineered To Deliver

Modernization at scale

Predictable timelines

Migration efforts measured in months, not years, using a defined and repeatable delivery process.

Cost control

SAS licensing fees eliminated, for good - no parallel run needed post deployment.

Reduced migration and testing burden

Proven conversion rules are automatically reused across workflows, substantially reducing testing effort.

Built-in auditability

Reusable recon scripts are built into every migration, ready for your team to use.

Reduced demand on internal teams

Your best people stay focused on business impact, not a multi-year migration.

Future-ready systems

Your analytics pipelines come out AI-ready and scalable, not just relocated.

True ownership

Your team owns the migrated estate and operational knowledge, with no proprietary runtime or dependency on Cepheus.

Different Industries - One critical imperative

Industries where correctness and traceability are mission-critical

Healthcare and medical analytics

Improving patient outcomes, streamlining operations, and enabling data-driven care across the ecosystem.

Pharmaceuticals and life sciences

Accelerating research, ensuring compliance, and bringing therapies to market more efficiently.

Banking and insurance

Managing risk, enhancing customer experiences, and driving growth in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Asset-intensive and industrial sectors

Optimizing assets, improving safety, and powering large-scale operations with intelligent insights.

Across all four, the challenge is the same:

Protecting decades of embedded business logic while enabling modernization.
