Saba Delivers Innovative New Approach to Rewards Management with Saba Compensation …from Saba

February 6, 2010

 

Sophisticated Software Can Identify and Reward the Most Valued Employees, Not Just High Performers

HRchitect featured Saba in our May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Management Systems and top Learning Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Saba participated in the Learning Management Systems panel on June 10, 2009 as part of theHRshow. A.G. Lambert, the VP of Marketing with Saba appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on August 14, 2009.

If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, talk to HRchitect first. We have unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation.

Saba, the premier people management software and services company, today announced the general availability of Saba Compensation, an easy-to-use software solution that drives more informed compensation decision-making by providing a comprehensive view of employee success. The sophisticated approach of Saba Compensation enables both compensation professionals and individual managers to make smarter spending decisions that improve performance, productivity, and talent retention rates. Among the innovations: direct access to multiple measures of success from within the compensation allocation tool, providing the ability to identify value beyond the performance review score.

Unlike today’s compensation solutions, Saba Compensation goes beyond simple pay-for-performance processes that focus only on formal review scores. Instead, Saba Compensation provides decision-makers with a rounded view of each individual by surfacing data from multiple people management processes. This helps identify employees in critical roles, high potentials, “team players,” and even those that contribute to knowledge sharing in today’s collaborative companies. The solution also includes ways to better engage employees by enabling them to surface their own reward preferences, which further boosts talent retention rates among valued employees. A number of Saba customers participated in early previews and user testing of these innovations, including Sydney Water and Graham Group, Ltd.

“Saba Compensation is very intuitive and easy to use,” said Paul Adams, reward and recognition manager at Sydney Water, Australia’s largest water and waste water utility, and a multi-award-winning employer. “We’re very pleased with Saba’s solution, which supports our know-how approach and our flexible and family-friendly work environment.”

“We need a compensation solution that not only helps us achieve compliance with our salary program guidelines, but can also help us link the accomplishments of work plans to bonus and pay increases,” said Laird Beatty, director of human resources at Graham Group, Ltd. “We want to directly motivate employees to align their work plans and performance with our compensation plans. That’s why we chose to add Saba Compensation to our existing Saba people management platform.”

“For our customers, a compensation offering that is merely a compensation worksheet for managers won’t do,” said Bobby Yazdani, chairman and CEO, Saba. “Saba Compensation incorporates elements of employees’ performance and value to the organization in a sophisticated way that no other compensation offering can.”

Saba Compensation is available now as part of Saba’s unified people management solutions, delivered either on-demand or on-premise.

Saba Expands Relationship with IBM Around People Management…from Saba

May 12, 2009

 

HRchitect featured Saba in our May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Management Systems and top Learning Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider. A.G. Lambert, VP of Marketing with Saba also will participate in the HRchitect WebMingle in August 2009.

Saba Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SABA) and IBM today announced that they are working together to help businesses harness and develop talent.

The companies are combining expertise to offer organizations a threefold approach to people management. This includes human capital management services and consulting from IBM and advanced enterprise learning solutions from Saba. In addition, IBM will offer a new Learning Accelerator for WebSphere Portal that is based on Saba Learning.

The combination of IBM and Saba can help businesses save time and money by reusing the same IT infrastructure for learning that is used for their corporate intranet and extranet. In addition, enterprises can capitalize on the many opportunities for informal and formal learning created by the “always on,” collaborative and social networking-focused culture of today’s businesses. By combining learning opportunities with portal-based collaboration, employees, customers and partners can participate in broader informal learning channels, making them more effective and productive.

“Effective human capital management strategies and tools are critical to improving the employee skill base and facilitating team collaboration, which ultimately helps an organization align workforce and business strategy to create high-performance people, while managing administrative costs,” said Tim Ringo, global leader,  IBM Human Capital Management practice.

“IBM’s approach of combining our industry-leading portal software and Human Capital Management consulting services with Saba’s world-class learning software is a winning combination for our customers,” added Larry Bowden, vice president of portals and mashups, IBM Lotus.

“Saba looks forward to expanding our relationship with IBM to offer our proven learning management solutions and expertise to the Lotus community,” said Bobby Yazdani, chairman and CEO for Saba. “With Saba, Lotus customers will have a robust platform to improve key business processes, increase revenues, and reduce costs.”

As part of Saba’s unified people management platform, Saba Learning is a comprehensive management system for formal and informal learning that enables organizations to identify, manage, develop, and measure the capabilities and knowledge of people throughout an enterprise, as well as empower them to connect and contribute their expertise. Saba Learning provides organizations with leading capabilities for catalog and curriculum management; compliance, continuing education, and competency management; for-profit training; content development and management; virtual learning; informal learning; and collaboration.

IBM Global Business Services’ worldwide human capital management practice provides advisory and implementation services to enable enterprise performance through improved workforce effectiveness. The IBM Workforce & Talent Solutions (WTS) offering integrates services from Human Capital Management practice with a wide range of tools, technologies, and IBM Research projects, including Saba’s learning and people management applications. WTS is the first holistic offering in the talent management marketplace that addresses the science of people management throughout the entire employee lifecycle.

Since Saba and IBM support open standards, Saba’s learning capabilities can be surfaced in context within WebSphere Portal. This combination can also be expanded to other IBM collaboration tools allowing people to easily locate experts, share information and participate in broader communities of interest.

When Saba’s learning capabilities are coupled with WebSphere Portal, businesses can empower employees to work smarter. The personalization capabilities of a portal can display customized views of the applications and information a person needs based on their job role. Surfacing formal learning opportunities within this context can help employees relate what they are learning to the task at hand. In addition, portals help make learning easier by putting content in a context where it is most meaningful to end users.

Customers with active maintenance agreements for IBM Lotus Learning Management System or IBM Workplace Collaborative Learning will be entitled to Saba Learning licenses at no charge. Participating clients will be required to purchase support for Saba Learning from Saba.

Customers with active maintenance agreements for IBM Lotus Learning Management System or IBM Workplace Collaborative Learning will be entitled to Saba Learning licenses at no charge provided they purchase support for Saba Learning from Saba.
