Industry’s Most Advanced and Complete HCM Solution to Help Federal Agencies Achieve a More Efficient, Productive Workforce

Redwood Shores, Calif., March 7, 2006 — Saba (NASDAQ: SABA), the premier Human Capital Management (HCM) software and services provider announced today at the FOSE 2006 trade show and conference (March 7-9, at the Washington Convention Center), that it is teaming with Intekras, a leading government contractor, on a new initiative to help government agencies achieve and maintain a “Green” score on the President’s Balanced Scorecard for Strategic Management of Human Capital.

The Scorecard is part of the President's Management Agenda, a governmentwide initiative aimed at improving the efficiency of the Federal Government in five specific areas, including Strategic Management of Human Capital. The President’s Management Agenda requires all departments and agencies to adopt new disciplines and has defined clear, governmentwide goals and a simple grading system of red, yellow, and green to track and measure how well the departments and major agencies are achieving those goals. To achieve a “Green” score for Strategic Management of Human Capital, agencies must demonstrate that they have implemented next-generation HCM systems that include performance appraisals linked to goals, succession planning, competency assessment, skill gap analysis and measurement of results at all levels.

“The President has identified a Green score as a critical milestone for all departments and government agencies,” said Ray Maskell, president, Saba Public Sector. “By combining Saba’s industry-leading HCM solution with strategic guidance, technology expertise, process definition, and long-term assistance, Saba and Intekras are working together to ensure agencies ‘get to green’ faster and stay there.”

The alliance builds on an ongoing relationship between the companies. In 2005 Intekras and Saba were awarded the right to deliver HCM solutions to government agencies under GoLearn initiative, a governmentwide resource that provides one-stop access to a repository of education resources and services. Through the program, agencies can utilize Saba’s HCM solutions through an 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.

“By strengthening our partnership with Saba we are continuing to improve our ability to help government agencies achieve a more efficient, productive and strategically aligned workforce,” said Charles Williams, president, Intekras.
