Saba-Centra Global Summit 2007—San Francisco, Calif.—November 6, 2007— Saba Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SABA), the premier people management software and services provider, today introduced Saba Compensation. By leveraging the learning, performance and talent data in Saba’s unified people management platform, Saba Compensation will enable organizations to move beyond simple “pay-for-performance” practices to drive compensation decisions that are linked to talent and workforce planning strategies. With Saba Compensation, organizations will be able to improve individual employee engagement and retention to drive improved business performance.

“Traditional compensation solutions rarely provide the talent and workforce planning information that managers and organizations need to make informed, effective compensation decisions,” said Bobby Yazdani, chairman and CEO for Saba. “With Saba Compensation, we continue to raise the bar for a unified people management strategy by delivering a solution that empowers our customers to make accurate compensation decisions that are directly aligned with organizational objectives.”

Saba Compensation
In an effort to retain their best people, organizations typically employ a “pay for performance” strategy, rewarding top performers with the highest compensation. However, in a dynamic, global workplace with unique cultural and generational considerations, organizations will see greater returns by embracing a balanced compensation strategy that identifies workforce gaps and risks; recognizes performance and potential; and, couples rewards with targeted development and career opportunities. With a balanced compensation strategy that considers the full people management lifecycle, organizations can more effectively engage, retain and increase the performance of individuals across the organization. The unique features of Saba Compensation enable managers and compensation professionals to:

• Link compensation and rewards to many measures of success, including compliance, goal achievement and completion of learning.
• Leverage rich workforce modeling and planning functionality as part of the compensation process to enable managers to understand the impact of proposed organizational changes immediately as well as target compensation to meet future organizational needs.
• Provide decision support with embedded analytics in a compensation dashboard that will enable accurate decisions based on market, team and individual metrics.
• Engage employees by delivering a total compensation statement and advanced employee self service that will empower individual employees to provide input into reward mechanisms and accept the rewards that are most meaningful to them.
• Support varying geographic compensation policies, languages and currencies through the global, scalable and configurable people management platform—Saba Enterprise.

“In my work with public and private sector organizations, a common, critical success factor in effective performance management is the ability to drive decision making,” said Jon Desenberg, director consulting services, The Performance Institute. “Saba has created a compensation decision framework that can drive results by taking into account critical performance measures as well as overall organizational needs.”

Saba Compensation 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 Compensation will be able to be deployed independently or in conjunction with any of the other Saba modules.

Saba Compensation will be generally available in Q3 2008. For more information, please visit www.saba.com/compensation.
