We're the team behind SAS, a global analytics and AI software company that started as a statistical analysis project at North Carolina State University in the late 1960s. What began as a tool to help agricultural researchers make sense of their data has grown into one of the world's largest privately held software companies, with our software used by most Fortune 500 companies. We're still privately held and still led by our co-founder Jim Goodnight, who helped turn this university project into an independent business back in 1976.
Our software helps organizations access, manage, analyze and understand their data to make better decisions. We've spent decades building analytics platforms that combine data management, advanced analytics and AI - and we invest heavily in research and development to keep pushing what's possible. Whether it's helping banks detect fraud, hospitals improve patient outcomes, or manufacturers optimize their supply chains, we focus on solving real problems with data. We're known not just for our technology but for our workplace culture, which has earned recognition from organizations like Fast Company, Forbes and Newsweek.
