OpenSesame and SumTotal Integration Improves Employee Learning, Upskilling, and Training Process

Morne Swart, Vice President of Global Product Strategy & Transformation.

OpenSesame, a market-leading SaaS global eLearning innovator, announced an integration with SumTotal—learning, talent, and workforce management company.

The integration allows Learning & Development administrators to send OpenSesame content to their SumTotal LMS quickly and effortlessly. The collaboration removes the administrative burden of manually downloading and uploading courses.

Together, the two companies have created a path to a better workplace training experience. With OpenSesame, the content is always fresh and current. The course is updated as soon as a course's metadata is updated. Retired courses are automatically removed from the LMS.

OpenSesame content, accessed via SumTotal's Learning Management System, maximizes resources and provides learners with a variety of topics and styles of content. The collaboration also saves valuable professional time and money for SumTotal customers.

"Our partnership with OpenSesame will enable us to provide important new training and personal development opportunities to our customers. Talent retention is at the forefront of our customer’s minds post-pandemic. Being able to offer world-class content to foster and support their employees, and provide new opportunities for advancement and growth is invaluable."

Without high-quality training content, a quality LMS is useless. Manually downloading and uploading courses makes upskilling and reskilling employees difficult. Integrations are increasingly a must-have for customers. The OpenSesame integration with SumTotal provides over 25,000 high-quality courses to assist enterprises worldwide in developing more analytical and actionable learning.
