"SAS has always been garbage as a technology...."
Insert meme of woman yelling at cat. (Too bad we can't add pictures.)
“SAS has always been garbage as a technology” ignores history. You can’t grow from 4 employees to 14,000 selling garbage. SAS succeeded because it was best among its competitors.
In its first decades, SAS technology was state-of-the-art. In its niche, MVA was more robust than any alternative. Few others even tried to run on PCs, Mainframes, and everything in between.
“SAS hasn't profited on technology in decades” is also wrong. But maybe @28v+1jkxjd4az meant, “SAS hasn’t profited on new technology in decades.”
“It's a support company.”
Unfortunately, that is correct. MVA was arguably the last successful innovation at SAS. They have profitably supported it ever since.
“ SAS hasn't profited on technology in decades. It's a support company.”
So wrong
COBOL, Fortran and SAS all still exist in the wild.
SAS has always been garbage as a technology, but the high quality of support has always given companies with strict regulatory requirements some real reassurance.
SAS hasn't profited on technology in decades. It's a support company.
SAS/TRADER has got to be pretty close
Here's another question...which products are the biggest shelfware? I'd guess VA.
I'm told that Fraud, Risk, and JMP are profitable. But none of them come near $1B.
