Saba Enterprise 5.3 Suite Receives Section 508 and WAI Certification

Certification Underscores Saba's Commitment to Ensure Its Industry Leading Human Capital Management Solutions Are Accessible to All Users

Redwood Shores, Calif., March 27, 2006 — Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), the premier Human Capital Management (HCM) software and services provider, announced today that Saba Enterprise 5.3, the latest version of its industry-leading HCM suite, has been independently certified compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Saba 5.3 was also certified compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) – Priority 1. This independent certification confirms that Saba’s industry leading HCM suite meets key international accessibility standards.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities in a manner comparable to that provided to people without disabilities. The regulation also requires that systems developed or procured by federal agencies, including those through private contractors, meet this accessibility standard. The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative sets web content and accessibility guidelines for web applications. Like Section 508, the intent of the guidelines is to ensure that people with disabilities have comparable web information and technology access to people without disabilities. This guideline is commonly used in many European countries as the standard for web content accessibility.

“Saba remains committed to making our HCM products accessible and usable by all our customers, said Ray Maskell, president, Saba Public Sector. "Ensuring that federal workers receive the same advantages available to those in the commercial world is the key to helping federal agencies to become as efficient and productive as possible. We are very proud to be a part of making the President's Management Agenda and Human Capital Management a practical reality in the federal workforce and this certification is a major milestone in that effort.“

The certification was performed by Computer Intelligence Associates, a privately held consulting and professional services firm with a specialized practice in Section 508 and WAI compliance auditing.
