The Growth of SAS
Almost 30 years ago, SAS appeared on the number 15 spot of Inc.'s inaugural ranking of fast-growing private companies, and it has never looked back ever since. While, on the one hand, the majority of SAS’s early fellow competitors have met orderly or in orderly ends, SAS continues to add onto its 35+ years of unbroken revenue-growth track record. The best part about this $2.4 billion worth business analytics giant with more than 12,000 employees is the fact that it is still private.
