SAS software is the product of SAS Corporation, which was established in 1976 with headquarter in North Carolina USA. SAS provides reliable and easy-to-use technology that transforms data into enriched, cleansed and trustworthy information, including the functionalities of data warehouse, large-scale data processing, data excavation, statistical analysis, report and graph generation, and web page connection.

Ninety percent of Fortune 500 organizations are SAS users.

Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software has a unique programming step and language. The most wonderful feature is SAS programming language, which is simple, easy to learn and has pertinent syntax. By merely using the combination of DATA STEP and PROC STEP syntax, SAS can solve any simple or complex question of data retrieving, processing, analysis, expression and connection. The SAS programming language is not like other computer languages, it will never be out-of-date or even obsolete. It will only become richer as time passes. The reason is that SAS can change its underlying language along with the computer's languages changes, but maintain the user interface unchanged. Therefore, learning Statistical Analysis System (SAS) programming may increase your experience without worrying about the changes of computer language.
