Saba Marks Continued Momentum with Saba OnDemand Service

More Than 700,000 Active Users Benefit from Application Management Service

REDWOOD SHORES, CALIF., Sept 13, 2005 —Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, today announced that usage of its Saba OnDemand™ application management service has more than doubled in the last year. As of September 1, 2005 Saba now hosts over 700,000 active users of its HCM suite, streamlining customers’ implementations.

With Saba OnDemand, customers access the Saba suite of HCM solutions without having to invest in IT infrastructure or in people resources to operate and maintain the application. Seasoned Saba experts administer the application, in partnership with a top-tier secure data center, providing unmatched ability to quickly implement, tune and optimize the suite to fit each customer’s needs.

Saba OnDemand has experienced growth on a number of fronts:

  • Over 600,000 course registrations so far this year—including more than 100,000 in the past 30 days
  • More than 40,000 titles in the collective learning catalogs
  • Recent selection of Saba OnDemand by a health care customer with 120,000 users

Despite the demand represented by these figures, Saba has consistently exceeded 99.5% up time over the past five years of operation.

“Saba is seeing more and more enterprises interested in managed HCM solutions, as they focus their internal resources on their core businesses,” said Bobby Yazdani, CEO and chairman of Saba. “We are proud of our track record in exceeding our customer expectations with Saba OnDemand and look forward to serving the needs of enterprises that opt for the benefits of an HCM managed service offering.”
