Happy Anniversary to Us!
When SAS opened for business in 1976, the company had seven employees selling one software program. Today, SAS employs more than 10,000 people in 424 offices worldwide, and our solutions are used at more than 40,000 sites.
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary as the leader in business intelligence – the hottest sector in the software market today – we anticipate an even greater future. SAS has been on the forefront of information technology for 30 years, maintaining an unbroken string of 29 years of growth and profitability. Revenues – totaling $138,000 in 1976 – topped $1.68 billion in 2005. And there’s every indication our growth will continue.
We have you, our customers and our friends, to thank for our unprecedented success. We wouldn’t be here without you.
Here’s to another 30 years!
