"Retaining and attracting quality talent is a fundamental part of our business strategy and with more than 50 percent of our employee base now located outside of the United States, it was important to find a talent solution that could keep pace with the evolving needs of our global workforce, taking into account the different cultural and geographical challenges," said Paul Rostron, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Sabre Holdings. "Plateau's Talent Management Suite will help us develop, reward and retain the best employees across the globe by putting multi-lingual information and resources in the hands of our employees whenever they need them, via one integrated on-demand solution that is compatible with our future-state technology platform and our commitment to personal data security."

With Sabre Holdings' selection of Plateau's integrated suite, all Sabre employees and managers will use Plateau Learning, Performance and Compensation when the suite is fully implemented over the next two years. Sabre's executives will use Plateau Succession to identify critical jobs, potential successors and skill gaps. Through iContent's unique Content-as-a-Service offering, Sabre expects to simplify content procurement and reduce the time and labor costs associated with managing and storing this content. By choosing Plateau's Talent Management Suite, Sabre also expects to lower its IT infrastructure and support costs and improve employee access with anytime, anywhere availability and reliability.
