Lattice Semiconductor Calls on Saba Centra OnDemandto Sell More Effectively and Communicate More Efficiently

Lattice conducts Web-based group and one-on-one training, meetings and presentations for its worldwide sales force and customers — saving time and money

Redwood Shores, Calif.––April 18, 2007––Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), the premier Human Capital Management (HCM) software and services provider, has announced that Lattice Semiconductor has selected Saba Centra OnDemand to improve the efficiency of training of its worldwide sales force and communicate more effectively with its global customer base. Headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, Lattice designs, develops and markets programmable logic devices (PLD), and uses Saba Centra OnDemand for a fast, efficient and cost-effective way to deliver product information to both its field salespeople and its customers.

“We were looking for a flexible, low-cost way to share technical information not only with our internal sales force, but also with customers worldwide,” said Steve Stark, director of marketing for Lattice Semiconductor.
Lattice competes against much larger companies in the programmable logic industry. To remain competitive, Lattice needed a webcasting tool that could make communication with its sales force more timely and productive, especially during the launch of new PLD products.

“We don’t have the same resources to draw on as some of our larger competitors,” remarked Bart Borosky, online marketing manager for Lattice, “so it’s essential we work smarter and more efficiently. Thanks to the cost-effectiveness of Saba Centra OnDemand, we’re able to communicate globally as often as we need to.”
“Organizations such as Lattice Semiconductor, which has a global sales force, are in need of business-critical training, and Saba Centra OnDemand is able to provide just that,” said Bobby Yazdani, chairman and CEO of Saba. “Saba is continuing to leverage its technology to deliver fast, efficient and cost-effective solutions to its customers, enabling them to better serve their customers.”

Saba Centra OnDemand provides Lattice with a variety of tools to use while conferencing, such as an integrated white board, application sharing, yes/no polling and a mark-up tool so participants can highlight key areas in presentations and spreadsheets. Lattice uses the Web-based conferencing solution for one-on-one and small group training, demonstrations and meetings, as well as for regular monthly webcasts to the sales team and larger groups of users. Saba Centra OnDemand provides the flexibility to increase the number of seats to virtually any number for a particular webcast — easily and efficiently.
“Saba Centra OnDemand is an effective way to reach a broad group of customers,” noted Borosky. “There’s no other way to communicate with as many people — it would be far too expensive and time-consuming.”

In addition to communicating with customers who participate live, Lattice uses Saba Centra OnDemand’s built-in recording capabilities to record each webcast and posts the recordings on its Web site. Lattice’s goal is to reach about five times the original audience with the replays. And with its fixed monthly cost, the more Lattice uses the Saba Centra solution, the more money it saves.

“We’re pleased with the Saba Centra solution,” said Borosky. “It’s easy to use and continues to provide us the cost savings and improved efficiency we need to succeed in a very challenging market.”
