Saba Executives Set Direction for On-Demand Learning and Performance

Chief Learning Officer Magazine Publishes Two Feature Articles by Saba

REDWOOD SHORES, CALIF., March 14, 2005 – Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), the leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, has outlined the advantages of adopting a real-time management system for the people processes within an organization in two feature articles published in back-to-back editions of Chief Learning Officer (CLO) Magazine (www.clomedia.com).

The first feature article, Managing Performance Through Learning, was written by Saba CEO and Chairman, Bobby Yazdani. The article scopes the transformation challenges and new requirements facing large organizations today, including the growing need for alignment with enterprise performance objectives. Bobby Yazdani, the driving force behind the Saba vision, products and market direction, founded Saba in 1997 and took the company public in 2000.

The second feature article, Governance: The Next Learning Gap, was written by Grant Ricketts, Vice President of Business Development at Saba, and frequent contributor to industry advisory groups. The article provides a roadmap for large organizations to establish a governance system and realize the on-demand learning and performance strategy outlined by Yazdani in the earlier editorial piece.

Combined, the two feature articles present a strategic plan for Global 2000 organizations to improve the performance of their people and re-align their organization as business changes occur.

“According to a recent report by a leading analyst firm, more than seventy percent of organizations use a spreadsheet or an in-house developed application to manage organizational performance,” said Yazdani. “This approach works fine if your business doesn’t change more than once a year. However, I’ve found that most global organizations find greater value in a real-time, integrated human capital management system. It’s the preferred way to align their organization, develop their people and measure their results against the changing business needs and demands of new initiatives.”
