Where other enterprise social networks start in sales and marketing, Saba Software starts with people-centric functions

“

”


One of Saba’s leading platforms, the Saba People Cloud, has helped organizations all around the world drive better business performance by helping them accelerate innovation by tapping into social and mobile capabilities to engage and connect employees to the right people, information, and ideas throughout the people network to drive new innovation and faster time to market.

“

”


The Saba People Cloud approach is not about one particular way of running an enterprise, i.e. top down or social (bottom up). It is rather about transforming the workplace fundamentally so that even while the formal top-down strategic goals are being achieved, companies can use enterprise social networking infused throughout the process to get better grassroots motivation, engagement, and continuous feedback and performance improvement.

Saba may have the inside track in some cases because it already supplies learning or human-resources products. – Stephen Lawson, Senior Correspondent, IDG

Larger rivals within the collaboration space such as IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco have lately undertaken similar efforts to combine Web conferencing and social networking functionality. These efforts, however, do not match Saba's bundling/packaging efforts with Saba Collaboration Suite in terms of delivering a unified solution that can run across both private and public cloud configurations. – Brad Shimmin

customer and partner groups as well, enabling secure collaboration and resource sharing.– Eric Linask, Group Editorial Director, Internet Telephony
