The drive to provide customers with the best possible business analytics technology and support requires a committed and motivated work force. SAS CEO Jim Goodnight's philosophy is simple, but effective: Treat employees like they make a difference and they will.

SAS offers an environment that inspires employees, allowing them to build long-term relationships with customers and focus on solving their business problems. In the face of economic uncertainty and market consolidation, SAS continues its 34-year history of growth and profitability. Our customers use SAS for everything from minimizing credit losses to improving patient outcomes -- and contribute to a lively, active SAS community worldwide.

This marks the 13th year SAS has been ranked on the FORTUNE "100 Best Companies to Work For" list in the US. The more than 400 global offices have achieved considerable workplace awards as well. It's no wonder SAS is the leader in business analytics: software that allows companies to glean greater value from one of their most important, yet elusive, assets -- the huge volumes of data they collect.
