Our History

40+ years of analytics innovation

It all started with curious minds. Is there a better way to analyze data? How can we turn data into intelligence? Who will benefit from using our technology? With a passion for analytics, our founders saw lines of code as the key to something extraordinary. Fast forward more than four decades later, and SAS has thousands of employees and customers in locations worldwide, analyzing billions of rows of data every second that are changing how we live.
