About SAS

SAS is one of the largest software companies in the world. With consistent revenue growth and profitability since 1976, SAS has the depth of resources to sustain excellence in product development and customer support. While many competitors have merged, changed ownership or simply vanished, privately held SAS has remained focused on our primary mission – delivering superior software and enhancing customer relationships.

Global reach, local presenceSAS solutions are used at 43,000 sites in 111 countries – including 96 of the top 100 FORTUNE Global 500® companies – to develop more profitable relationships with customers and suppliers; to enable better decisions; and to move forward with confidence and clarity. More than 10,000 SAS employees – in more than 50 countries and 400 SAS offices – provide local support for global implementations.

Award-winning customer supportSAS customers receive a full suite of support services at no extra charge, including skilled telephone technical support and unlimited, around-the-clock online technical support.

Our online customer support center provides always-on access to a wealth of technical support, reference information, educational resources and communities. Knowledge-sharing is continuously available through regular seminars, Webcasts and an expansive selection of training courses.

Financial strengthSAS' record of revenue growth in every year of our existence not only makes us a stable business partner, but has enabled us to reinvest close to 25 percent of revenues in R&D each year – twice the industry average – so we can continually improve our products. This commitment to innovation is one reason why 98 percent of our customers renew their software licenses with SAS every year.
