All these enhancements are critical for transforming learning and talent-management processes and helping organizations meet the challenges in today’s new world of work.

Constructed from the ground up, Saba’s platform incorporates enterprise social networking technology and big data. Machine learning is a set of intelligent algorithms built on top of the big data platform to understand user preferences, likes, and aspirations and then guide each person with a relevant and personalized development path. With this type of intelligence built into the platform, Saba Cloud can continuously learn about the needs of end users and automatically provide intelligent recommendations about the people, content, and ideas that help employees be more productive on the job and effectively develop in their careers. Saba’s intelligent platform also takes the end-user experience to the next level by constantly providing users with the most relevant and useful content automatically, without having to search for it.

"We continue to deliver innovation in our Saba Cloud platform to enhance what we believe is the most scalable, secure, and intelligent in the industry", said Shawn Farshchi, interim CEO at Saba. "Our more than 11.1 million cloud-based users across the globe are benefitting from Saba’s approach to talent management, one that focuses on people development and empowerment in the new world of work." 

In addition to the intelligent machine learning, Saba also has made innovative enhancements in several other areas of its people-development platform, including

•  Social: The Saba Cloud platform now provides clients with the ability to transform traditional talent-management processes with social and collaboration technology at their own pace. Through a simple administrative control, clients can turn their social features on and off with a flip of a switch to fit their business needs. Saba has enhanced the ability for experts throughout the organization to create and contribute content via robust idea labs and streamlined document and link sharing. The user additionally has the ability to record videos using high-definition video and audio and then share that content through video channels with a single click.

• Mobile: Saba Cloud’s mobile offering, one of the most secure and comprehensive available, supports iOS and Android operating systems that together address over eighty percent of all mobile devices. Saba Cloud’s updated mobile capabilities include the ability to access virtual classroom sessions and meetings through secure single sign on, the ability to complete and track learning activities including on-the-job training, connect with co-workers, collaborate in groups, participate in discussions, and also provide social rewards and feedback. An important security feature, users have the ability to automatically wipe sensitive corporate training data from mobile devices automatically after a configurable period of time.     

• Learning: All Saba Cloud capabilities have learning at their core. Saba has a single, unified platform with built-in social, mobile and collaboration technologies combined with learning. As a result, the company has some of the most robust solutions for all types of learning, including traditional, mobile, social, and unified virtual classroom. Saba also recently introduced new e-commerce capabilities to support for-profit training for extended enterprise ecosystems of customers and partners.
