You may be underestimating the depth of scope of SAS. You can't just replace it with "a bunch of R and Python scripts".

Depends on what you're doing, to be fair. R would probably be a better choice as it's more likely to have all the statistical stuff in SAS. Python might make sense if you want to integrate it into web/other systems.

It's definitely not an easy lift and shift though, as the OP made it out to be. Particularly when you're integrating with other departments it's vital to have perfect compatibility as otherwise you'll break the other departments workflow.
