Power up business innovation and speed

Harness your extended people chain for competitive advantage.

In today's business world, where sustainable competitive advantage comes solely from human capital and intellectual property assets, it is no longer enough to rely on only the talent inside your organization to drive success. In fact, companies that are able to harness their extended people chain of partners and customers have a distinct advantage and can generate better revenues, innovation, speed-to-market, and customer satisfaction.

By implementing extended people chain processes, you can create new streams of revenue through customer education, faster time-to-market through better training to channel partners and your decentralized workforce, better innovation through collaboration with partners, and better customer engagement through online customer communities.

How Saba helps you leverage your extended people chain.

Saba is at the forefront of a new wave of solutions called people systems that combine learning, talent management, and collaboration capabilities on a single platform with a common people profile.

Because Saba is built on a common people platform that is highly configurable, you can support both internal people processes as well as processes to support your extended people chain across all constituencies and geographies.

With Saba's extended people chain solution, you can:

  • Deliver timely sales and channel training on new products using Saba Learning, Saba Centra Web Conferencing and Saba Live to improve speed-to-market.
  • Deliver for-profit learning classes to channel partners and customers through an intuitive eCommerce Storefront that helps them find, register, and pay for the classes they need to be successful.
  • Create online communities for employees in different geographies or divisions, customers, and partners to connect with each other and collaborate on projects using Saba Collaboration to increase customer and partner engagement and improve speed to market.
  • Leverage idea engines to foster new ideas and enable people to vote on them to surface the best ideas from inside and outside your organization and drive innovation.
  • Develop specialized training catalogs for different audiences and deliver relevant content to the right people at the right time.
