Born
Statistical analysis. Goodnight co-founded SAS in 1976 with John Sall, Anthony Barr and Jane Helwig, turning a North Carolina State University project for analysing agricultural data into commercial software for statisticians in drug companies, banks and government. SAS stayed private, licensed its software annually and became known for generous staff benefits. Open-source tools such as R and Python have since eaten into its territory.
