Your IT team isn't evaluating learning the same way L&D is. They’re asking different questions: Will it work with our existing systems? Is it secure? How is learner data handled? What will implementation require? And how much ongoing work will this create for IT? Those are the right questions.
For full support of every department, look to the Stakeholder Guide to OpenSesame.
Here are five things your IT team can consider when evaluating OpenSesame.
1. OpenSesame is designed to work with your existing ecosystem
A learning solution doesn’t have to require a new technology strategy.
OpenSesame is designed to work within existing learning and HR ecosystems, with integrations into major LMS platforms. That helps companies expand their learning options without replacing the systems they already rely on.
The goal is straightforward: make learning easier to access and manage without creating unnecessary technical complexity.
2. SSO can make access easier for everyone
Each additional login creates friction for employees and another potential support issue for IT.
OpenSesame supports SSO and secure authentication, helping learning fit naturally into the systems people already use.
3. Security and privacy can be part of the earliest conversations
Security reviews are a standard part of enterprise software decisions, and learning technology is no exception.
OpenSesame supports those evaluations with security documentation, implementation guidance, data privacy support, and information about security standards and certifications relevant to enterprise software reviews.
Your IT team can still bring its own requirements to the evaluation. The important thing is to make those requirements visible early.
4. Implementation doesn’t have to become a long-term IT project
A learning solution can solve an L&D problem and still create an IT problem.
Implementation effort, integrations, authentication, ownership, and ongoing maintenance all matter. OpenSesame gives implementation guidance, support during rollout, and ongoing technical assistance to reduce the lift.
With OpenSesame, we can send courses over to our LMS in a couple of clicks. It made it kind of a no-brainer decision.

5. The right learning technology will fit your ecosystem
The real IT test isn’t how many features a learning solution has. It’s whether it works with the environment you already have.
Does it integrate with your LMS? Can it meet security and privacy requirements? Can it support learning without creating another technology silo?
The bottom line
The right learning solution should make life easier for both L&D and IT. That means trusted training that meets business needs, works with existing systems, and doesn't create more work for the teams supporting it.
OpenSesame brings together the training, integrations, and expert support organizations need to move forward with confidence.
