Every learning vendor adds another contract to review, another relationship to manage, and another renewal to plan for. When training is spread across multiple providers, that work adds up.
For Procurement teams, choosing the right learning solution means looking at the full relationship: cost, implementation, vendor reliability, ongoing support, and the ability to meet changing business needs.
Here are five things your Procurement team should know when evaluating OpenSesame.
For a broader look at what matters across departments, explore the Stakeholder Guide to OpenSesame.
1. Fewer vendors can mean less complexity
Organizations often rely on multiple providers to cover different training needs, creating more contracts, renewals, and vendor relationships to manage.
OpenSesame brings critical training like safety, compliance, and cybersecurity together with leadership, technical skills, and workforce development in one place.
That breadth can help organizations consolidate providers, simplify purchasing, and reduce the administrative work of managing a fragmented learning ecosystem.
2. The contract price isn't the only cost
The full cost of a learning solution includes the time and resources required to implement, manage, and maintain it.
From coordinating vendors to managing content updates and supporting delivery, those responsibilities can add up.
OpenSesame helps reduce that burden through existing LMS integrations, expert curation, and ongoing customer support, giving Procurement a more complete picture of the resources involved in maintaining the relationship.
3. Implementation risk belongs in the buying decision
A learning solution needs to work with the systems and processes an organization already relies on.
Before signing an agreement, Procurement should understand implementation requirements, internal ownership, timelines, and potential dependencies.
OpenSesame integrates with major LMS platforms and provides guidance and support during implementation, helping organizations introduce new training without unnecessary disruption to their existing systems.
4. The relationship continues after signature
Choosing a learning provider means trusting that the relationship will continue to deliver value long after implementation.
OpenSesame supports customers with dedicated customer success teams, expert content curation, and ongoing assistance to help organizations find and deliver the training they need.
For Procurement, that means evaluating the expertise and support behind the solution, alongside the commercial agreement.
5. The solution should adapt as business needs change
Training requirements evolve as organizations grow, enter new markets, respond to regulations, and develop new workforce capabilities.
OpenSesame's broad course library, customizable training, and global coverage help organizations address new needs without continually sourcing additional providers.
Procurement should also clarify contract flexibility, service expectations, and renewal terms during evaluation to ensure the agreement supports the organization's longer-term priorities.
The bottom line
A strong Procurement decision creates value beyond the initial purchase. The right learning partner should help reduce vendor complexity, support changing business needs, and provide the expertise to make the relationship work over time.
OpenSesame brings trusted training, broad coverage, and expert support together, helping organizations meet critical training requirements while simplifying the vendor relationships behind them.
