• No changes to leadership or staffing. The sales and support teams you are used to dealing with are still there for you.
• John Sall will continue to lead R&D because, well, you couldn’t drag him away.
• We will continue to prioritize customer care. In fact, quite a few Technical Support staffers have joined the JMP team.
• Why now? Because JMP is a successful, growing, profitable business that is ready to stand on its own. As John Sall says, SAS has been a great incubator for more than 30 years and it’s time to leave the nest.

• Still headquartered on SAS campus in Cary, North Carolina.
