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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
