Saba Analytics

Saba

Overview

Saba® Analytics is a complete business intelligence solution for extended enterprise Human Capital Management (HCM) reporting, analysis, and information distribution. It gives line-of-business managers and HR and training executives the power to analyze, understand, and act quickly on vital enterprise information. At the same time, using analytics throughout the organization can directly improve bottom-line results.

Saba provides a robust set of competency analytics that tie together learning and performance initiatives into a common reporting structure—the foundation for learning analytics and performance analytics. This gives executives and managers the insight necessary to make faster, better decisions around key business initiatives.

With Saba Analytics, you can drive cost reductions, improve compliance, and increase training revenue; measure the effectiveness of e-learning programs and scarce resources; and identify where and how training is having an impact across the extended enterprise—employees, customers, partners, and suppliers.

The open system makes it easy to build custom reports and analyses; it can extract data into and out of other transactional or BI systems. Saba Analytics has extensive aggregation, grouping, filtering, drill-down, drill-up, charting, and subtotaling features.

Architecture

Saba has created a seamless process for ETL and cube building by developing automated scripts that run on top of IBM Cognos DecisionStream and Transformer. Saba builds the reports and cubes that are used within Saba Analytics and does not use any pre-built reports or cubes. The intuitive user interface helps users construct the analyses they need to answer business questions. Saba Analytics uses IBM Cognos PowerPlay for analysis.
