History
Saba means "knowing" in many languages. Bobby Yazdani, chose this name when he founded the company in 1997. Saba Learning was the first product; since then, Saba has expanded its product line into a unified suite of People Cloud Applications delivered as software-as-a-service. Saba went public in April 2000. It acquired THINQ Learning Solutions in May 2005, Centra Software in 2006, Pedagogue Solutions and Comartis in June 2011 and Human Concepts in March 2012.
In addition to its headquarters in Redwood Shores, California, Saba has offices on five continents. In July 2011, Saba added two prominent technology industry veterans to its Board of Directors: Michael Abbott, vice president of engineering for Twitter, and Mike Fawkes, operating partner for VantagePoint Capital Partners.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”

“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
