About SAS
“Big Data is the future”. It’s a cliché, isn’t it? You’ve heard it bandied about all over the place, but what does it mean? Whenever you go online, you give out data. And the number of internet users in the world is estimated at over 3.5 billion people. Think about it.

Data is everywhere. 2.5 quintillion (2,500,000,000,000,000) bytes of it are created every day. And the universe is a vast, complicated place. Anyone with the tools to understand this data, has the keys to unlock the world. SAS gives you the keys. Our powerful analytics software helps banks reach their customers more effectively. It enables local councils to tackle corruption and save valuable resources. And it analyses medical data to help doctors efficiently allocate organs for transplant operations.

However, despite our powerful technology, we are nothing without our people. Our founder Jim Goodnight says that 95% of his assets drive out of the gates every evening, and this is clearly shown in our corporate culture. We are frequently ranked as having a top workplace culture, and pride ourselves on creating an open, friendly environment which supports our employees and allows them to grow.
