Saba , the leading provider of human capital development and management (HCDM) solutions, today announced that Renault and Nissan will implement Saba Enterprise Learning to standardize training and certification management processes for their entire worldwide network of automotive dealers.
Renault and Nissan chose Saba for its ability to implement a global, multi-lingual solution for hundreds of thousands of users worldwide and simultaneously manage web-based business-to-employee and business-to-business learning initiatives. Saba Enterprise Learning will initially be deployed across five continents to the primary and secondary network of dealers for several Renault and Nissan brands.
"In the increasingly competitive global automotive market, it is critical for organizations to be able to develop and deliver effective training, development and certification programs throughout the extended enterprise. Saba provides large organizations with the richness of functionality, scalability and depth of experience that is needed for this type of worldwide project," said Bobby Yazdani, Saba Chairman and CEO. "Saba has a proven track record of leadership in supporting the needs of the global automotive industry, with customers such as General Motors, Daimler Chrysler and Ford Motor Company. Renault and Nissan's selection of Saba further reinforces our leadership position in the industry."
Renault and Nissan's objective was to select a single enterprise learning solution to help meet the challenges brought about by strong international competition in the automotive industry. Saba will support the manufacturer's change management efforts by enabling project collaboration and the sharing of best practices throughout Renault and Nissan's different business units.
The Saba solution will provide Renault and Nissan a unified view of the competency profiles, knowledge, behavior and skills of people throughout their extended enterprise, and will make all available content accessible through a single platform for the entire distribution network.
