About SAS Marketing Automation Software

SAS (pronounced “sass”), which once stood for “statistical analysis software,” was created by Jim Goodnight and N.C. State University colleagues, including John Sall, in the early 1970s to analyze agricultural-research data. SAS Institute was founded in 1976 to develop and sell the software as demand mushroomed.

Today SAS is the leader in business intelligence software and services. The company’s solutions include: data integration, intelligence storage, advanced analytics and business intelligence applications within a comprehensive enterprise intelligence platform.
