KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. www.hivconsult.org

NetApp - Business Impact Award

NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) increased ease-of-use and accountability by consolidating
on Saba Learning as their single LMS, from three legacy systems, resulting in
significant cost savings for the company. Support costs decreased by 65%, and
operational efficiency and learning accessibility improved immensely, resulting
in dramatically increased enrollments. This year, NetApp University received the
company's top award (Total Customer Experience Award) for being instrumental to
the company's success.

Brinker International - Knowledge, Community & Collaboration Award

Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's Grill & Bar, Maggiano's
Little Italy, and On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, streamlined the
tracking of required certifications and enhanced their learning programs through
the deployment of Saba, making e-learning a practical and reliable tool for the
company for the first time. In all, 1,600 managers were trained on new
government-mandated documentation processes. The company leveraged Saba
Collaboration to connect people over distances and support informal learning and
knowledge-sharing.

University of Tennessee, Knoxville - Academic Award

An OnDemand, Saba Learning customer, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
uses Saba to deliver courses that support ten graduate distance education degree
programs and three graduate certificate programs. Additionally many faculty who
teach face-to-face classes use Saba Centra as a supplemental collaboration tool
to offer virtual office hours, to pre-record lectures, or to archive live class
sessions that can be made available for student review.

"Saba's customers are leaders in creating people-driven organizations based on
close collaboration, and we're honored to work with all of them to further their
