Business Editors

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2003

Saba (Nasdaq:SABA) announced that two of its customers, Kinko's and the U.S. Army, were named "Web Smart 50" companies by BusinessWeek magazine.

The Business Week Web Smart 50 list features 50 companies and organizations identified by BusinessWeek for innovative applications of information technology. Saba customers Kinko's and the U.S. Army were the only two organizations recognized for innovations in learning.

Kinko's was chosen for its recent learning initiative that included its use of Saba to replace 51 training facilities across the United States. BusinessWeek noted that "Kinko's expects to spend about $5.5 million on training this year, barely one-third of the 2001 total."

According to the BusinessWeek article, the new Kinko's $2.5 million e-learning network will offer online courses on topics ranging from products to policies, will enable the company to save nearly $10 million a year in training costs, and allow Kinko's to present new store offerings in a more efficient way. Early results show that the initiative has delivered a 27 percent jump in sales in banners and signs.

BusinessWeek recognized the U.S. Army for its education initiative, eArmyU, and stated eArmyU "is now one of the nation's largest virtual universities." BusinessWeek noted, "The eArmyU program offers soldiers the choice of 142 degrees and certificates and more than 900 online courses across a consortium of 27 universities. More than 8,500 GIs say they have extended their tours or re-upped in order to qualify."

"We are very pleased that our customers Kinko's and the U.S. Army have been recognized for their innovations in learning," said Malcolm Hobbs, Saba vice president of Marketing. "We are proud to have played an integral part of their successful initiatives."
