SAS Institute's headquarters is located in Cary, North Carolina.
SAS Institute is headquartered on a large campus in Cary, a town in the Research Triangle region. The company began as the Statistical Analysis System project at North Carolina State University in the 1960s before becoming an independent software company in 1976.
Cary is near Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, which form the core of the Research Triangle. That regional association can make Raleigh or Durham seem like the answer, but SAS's headquarters is specifically in Cary. The campus is known for extensive employee amenities and landscaped grounds.
SAS develops analytics, artificial intelligence, data-management, and business-intelligence software. Unlike many technology companies that have moved frequently between major cities, SAS has maintained its headquarters in North Carolina, close to the academic and research environment from which its original statistical software emerged.
