SAS consists of a number of components, which organizations separately license and install as required.
;SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office: A component of the SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence Server, is designed to provide access to data, analysis, reporting and analytics for non-technical workers (such as business analysts, power users, ___domain experts and decision makers) via menus and toolbars integrated into Office applications.▼
;Base SAS: The core of SAS, the so-called '''Base SAS Software''', manages data. '''SAS procedures software''' analyzes and reports the data. The [[SQL]] procedure allows SQL (Structured Query Language) programming in lieu of data step and procedure programming. Library Engines allow transparent access to common data structures such as Oracle, as well as pass-through of SQL to be executed by such data structures. The '''Macro facility''' is a tool for extending and customizing SAS software programs and reducing overall program verbosity. The '''DATA step debugger''' is a programming tool that helps find logic problems in DATA step programs. The '''Output Delivery System''' (ODS) is an extendable system that delivers output in a variety of formats, such as SAS data sets, listing files, [[Rich Text Format|RTF]], [[PDF]], [[XML]], or [[HTML]]. The '''SAS windowing environment''' is an interactive, [[graphical user interface]] used to run and test SAS programs.
