Case Studies

The company moved to OpenSesame three years ago, taking advantage of the seamless integration with Saba LMS. "The integration with Saba was a strong selling point," says Moerck. "And managing OpenSesame courses within Saba is easy thanks to the API integration. When you're able to integrate a new elearning vendor into your learning platform within a couple of months, that says a lot." Saba LMS integration makes it easier to quickly add elearning courses to the Saba LMS catalog. Siemens can preview courses, read reviews, and research publisher information before purchasing any course from OpenSesame. Once purchased, new courses sync instantly from OpenSesame into Saba. "OpenSesame is a long-time partner for us," says Phil Saunders, CEO of Saba. "We've been working together for many years. This is two best in class companies coming together to deliver real solutions for our customers. Siemens is trying to deliver a modern, effective, and agile learning experience for its employees. Saba, together with OpenSesame, delivers that on point." Finding and deploying courses is only part of the training program journey. Elearning utilization continues to be a key metric for any learning and development initiative, validating that learners are utilizing the courses you have made available. "We've seen a 30 percent increase in usage of our elearning program since implementing OpenSesame," notes Moerck. "I see people benefiting from our elearning programs on a daily basis. We are providing value to both to the individual learners and to the company." Furthermore, connecting business results to training is paramount for any organization to recognize a return on investment on training. "We have seen more efficiency and productivity with OpenSesame," says Lang. "The beauty of Siemens is you can stay with one company for your whole career and have a dozen different jobs," says Voorberg. In order to facilitate and support Siemens employees to advance their careers, the Siemens Learning Campus is providing the tools they need to develop the skills required for their next job.

Casper Moerck, Learning Campus US, Learning Technology Manager "I like the fact that they aggregate content from best-in-class publishers," says Lisa Lang, Head of Learning Campus for Siemens Corporation. "They look at each discipline, area or topic that we need to cover within our catalog and find the best courses and publishers, so we don't have to do the work ourselves."
