First Stage in Worldwide Project for Renault-Nissan Completed On-Time and On-Budget

PARIS LA DEFENSE. March 8, 2005 – Saba (NASDAQ : SABA), the leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, today announced that it has successfully deployed a competency management solution based on Saba Enterprise Learning for 350 dealerships within the Renault primary network.

The Renault deployment was completed within the planned timeframe and according to budget.

Launched by Renault’s French Sales Management on October 1, 2004, the Saba solution now enables car dealership franchises to build, monitor and deliver employee training and certification processes based on competency diagnostics.

The Saba HCM solution provides a unified view of the competency provirtuals in France, and interfaces with an existing referral-based competence scheme for access to all content through a single platform for the entire distribution network.

Renault-Nissan selected Saba to implement its training, competency and certification programs worldwide, and the Renault deployment is the first stage of the manufacturer’s plan to standardize training and certification management processes for their entire network of automotive dealers and resellers.

“Saba has the experience required for this type of worldwide project, and the knowledge to help large organizations develop and deliver effective competency and certification programs across the extended enterprise,” said Bobby Yazdani, Saba Chairman and CEO. “Our ability to respond to the needs of the global automotive industry and to share best practices is proven by our successful implementations with customers such as Renault-Nissan, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, and Ford Motor Company”.
