Saba Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant in Latest Web Conferencing Magic Quadrant

Saba (NASDAQ:SABA), the premier people management software and services provider, today announced that it has been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of the 2009 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Conferencing.¹ The Magic Quadrant positions vendors according to their ability to execute and their completeness of vision.

According to Gartner, "The demand for Web conferencing has increased due to economic pressures and recent enterprise concerns and mandates about reducing travel costs. Web conferencing tools are perhaps one of the easiest to measure from a return on investment (ROI) perspective. It is fairly easy to determine potential cost savings from travel reduction in replacing face-to-face meetings with Web conferencing. However, the benefits include more than just travel reduction. Web conferencing enables real-time interactive information sharing with use cases ranging from team collaboration to training and support.”

"Saba Centra is used by some of the world’s leading organizations like Deloitte, IBM and the U.S. Army to facilitate high-impact Web conferencing, collaboration and learning across their organizations,” said A.G. Lambert, vice president of marketing for Saba. "We believe being placed in the Visionaries Quadrant is confirmation of the value of providing our customers with proven, innovative Web conferencing that helps improve organizational effectiveness, create a learning culture and deliver measurable ROI.”

As organizations continue to look at ways to reduce training and meeting costs, Saba Centra helps create an optimal online experience—regardless of location or platform—to drive increased adoption, connect people with expertise and improve organizational productivity. Designed to meet the needs of the enterprise, Saba Centra is an industry-leading Web conferencing and collaboration solution that enables employees, customers and partners to learn, interact and exchange knowledge online. By making it easy to capture and share knowledge as it happens, Saba Centra increases the value of session content and improves collaboration among globally distributed employees, customers and partners.
