Intekras and Saba awarded GoLearn Contract
REDWOOD SHORES, CALIF., July 19, 2005 — Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, today announced that Intekras and Saba were awarded the right to deliver complete human capital management solutions including learning management systems (LMS), learning content management systems (LCMS), performance management systems, analytics and collaboration tools to government agencies under the Gov Online Learning Center (GoLearn) initiative.
GoLearn’s mission is to provide the full spectrum of web-based human capital performance (e-HCP) tools and content to any government agency employee or industry partner in any media at any time. GoLearn provides agencies with a single source to address human capital management issues. Thanks to the GoLearn program, agencies can now utilize Saba’s unique human capital services on demand delivery model to align people within and between agencies, develop staff and measure results at the employee, manager and agency level. As a result, agencies can lower their operating costs and improve their results against goals.
“As a services-on-demand solution for human capital management, Saba is an ideal fit for government agencies because we can securely deliver learning and performance-related services to anyone, anywhere, anytime,” said Ray Maskell, president of Saba public sector. “We are pleased that Saba and Intekras have been awarded a primary role in delivering next generation e-HCP solutions to the Government. With 136 public sector customers, serving the needs of government entities continues to be a major focus for Saba."
As part of the President’s Management Agenda, all agencies face a renewed focus on results which requires accountability at the manager, employee and agency level. To achieve a “Green” score on the President’s Balanced Scorecard for Strategic Management of Human Capital, agencies need to implement next generation human capital management systems that include performance appraisals linked to goals, succession planning, competency assessment, skill gap analysis as well as measurement of results at all levels.
“Working with Intekras and Saba, agencies will now be able to score Green on the President’s balanced scorecard,” said Charles Williams, President of Intekras. “We are looking forward to providing agencies with a next generation human capital management solution to help them realize the goals of the GoLearn Program today.”
The award comes only weeks after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) Center for Leadership and Capacity Services (CLCS) selected Saba Enterprise 2005 to manage their catalog, resources and payments to develop government executives and their organizations. OPM is the lead agency for managing the federal e-training initiative through the GoLearn program office.
