Workbench

What is Workbench?

A powerful and easy-to-use IDE/GUI for users of all abilities and skill sets.

An IDE/GUI for encoders and non-encoders

The Workbench is a friendly IDE/GUI that you can use as a drag-and-drop workflow environment or as a coding environment.

Encoding

Prepare and analyze data using code. Create, manage, and execute code and explore results interactively. Create programs in the SAS language by mixing SQL, Python, and R.

Workflows

Use visual programming tools, including a drag-and-drop workflow editor with interactive data profile, data preparation, and predictive modeling tools. For advanced tasks, code nodes are available in workflows for programming in SAS, Python, R, or SQL languages.

Connecting the desktop

Workbench uses the WPS Analytics Processing Engine behind the scenes to run programs, workflows, and templates.

Use standalone or in client/server mode

Workbench installed on a PC can process everything locally in standalone mode, or it can be configured to operate as a client with data processing running transparently in remote server or WPS Analytics cloud environments.

Remote desktop

A WPS Analytics server or cloud installation can support multiple concurrent Workbench users through remote desktop services, including Microsoft and Citrix.
