Today, we’ve got big news: You can now find OpenSesame in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent vendors run on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Since our founding in 2011, OpenSesame’s vision has been to create a world where everyone can easily access the training they need to advance their personal and professional goals. With that ideal in mind, it’s not hard to see why we’re so excited about this listing. AWS Marketplace is renowned for its ability to simplify the process of finding, comparing, and deploying software. Now, any AWS customer wanting access to our world-class catalog can enjoy the streamlined procurement process that AWS Marketplace offers.
“It’s no secret that L&D teams, more often an army of one, are characteristically strapped for time and resources,” points out Josh Blank, President, Co-Founder, and Chief Product Officer at OpenSesame. “Anything that reduces their workload, helps drive every day learning, and delivers results is a big win in our book.”
Of course, there are also significant benefits for large enterprises. Availability in AWS Marketplace simplifies the payment process, consolidating invoices through AWS and providing a one-stop-shop for finance teams to track and submit payment. Plus, AWS Marketplace purchases can help increase savings on overall AWS commit, too.
OpenSesame’s course catalog is unmatched, complete with courses from expert publishers spanning industries like manufacturing, technology, retail, and healthcare. It covers essential topics like compliance, leadership, wellness, and everything in between, and has a bounty of certification prep materials, too. We know everyone learns differently, which is why we offer a variety of different formats—podcasts, videos, simulations—for training on critical topics. But we also know quality matters to everyone, which is why our in-house curation team holds our publishers and their content to the strictest publishing standards in the industry.
We’re delighted it’s easier than ever for organizations to offer these top-tier materials to their workforce. Lean departments, professionals juggling multiple roles, and large corporations can now act more quickly and efficiently in standing up their learning programs, reducing operational time, allowing for more strategic thinking and planning, and maximizing learning impact with minimal effort. It’s not just a win for OpenSesame—it’s a win for learners across the globe.
