REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.—October 10, 2007—Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), the premier people management software and services provider, today unveiled Saba Workforce Planning, which will be available as part of its Saba Enterprise Suite. Saba Workforce Planning is an innovative solution that moves beyond general headcount-based planning to enable organizations to model the future based on unique employee attributes and position requirements. As part of a unified people management platform that includes learning, performance and talent management, Saba Workforce Planning will provide organizations with the dynamic decision support tools they need to model different organizational scenarios to identify risk and take action.

“Workforce planning that incorporates employee competencies and position requirements can lead to better decisions for organizational success than pure headcount-based planning,” said Leighanne Levensaler, principal analyst for Bersin & Associates, a research and advisory firm focused on corporate talent management and learning. “By incorporating a workforce planning module with modeling capability that considers employee and job attributes as part of its talent management suite, Saba has taken a leadership role in this emerging and important process.”

Saba Workforce Planning
By moving beyond headcount-based planning, which only considers people from a budget perspective, Saba Workforce Planning will empower organizations to model future states based on alignment of organizational capabilities. Organizations will be able to create a success plan at the organizational level that works in conjunction with Saba’s My Success Plan—a unified view of an individual employee’s goals and objectives, certification and compliance, and development activities. With Saba Workforce Planning’s innovative position management capabilities, the Saba Enterprise Suite will also be able to serve as a true system of record for positions and people within an organization. Additional features and benefits will include:

• Use current learning, performance and talent data to guide workforce planning decisions
• Model future workforce allocation through a rich, graphical user interface to easily create and save multiple model iterations
• Empower every manager—not just HR—with access to robust decision support tools to proactively identify risks, such as talent gaps or flight risks, and respond
• Create a people management system of record to gain a global view of positions, incumbents, succession candidates and success requirements
• Configure the solution to unique organizational needs; User experience, people policies, and depth of functionality can all be changed per business unit

“Saba Workforce Planning is the latest example of the innovation we continue to build into our platform that supports next generation people management processes,” said Bobby Yazdani, CEO and chairman at Saba. “Organizations need to be able to model their future success, and by adopting a unified people management solution, organizations have the disciplined approach they need to achieve excellence in today’s flat world.”

Saba Workforce Planning will be part of the industry-leading unified people management platform, Saba Enterprise Suite, which makes learning, performance and talent management processes faster, easier and more effective for individual employees and organizations. The Saba Enterprise Suite enables companies to track and manage individual and organizational performance, blended learning, talent planning and development, and interact and exchange knowledge online, in real time. In addition, Saba’s platform allows enterprises to reduce costs by enabling consolidation of disparate IT systems through a single, unified platform.

Saba Workforce Planning will be available in limited release in January 2008. For more information, please visit www.saba.com/products.
