Case Studies

The combination of a powerful, integrated learning management system and elearning content from OpenSesame is transforming the way Overhead Door trains its workforce. As an elearning designer, Reed is most impressed by the modern content, its relevance to her learners, and the broad selection of elearning courses from OpenSesame. "We've seen tremendous results with OpenSesame," she says. "The interaction by learners with our LMS has grown by hundreds of percent as compared to before." Sandi Denton, the Director of Human Resources at Overhead Door, appreciates the many more options for courses and learning plans for their employees that OpenSesame provides. "Previously, learners only had access to Microsoft Office courses. Now they have so many elearning opportunities available to them before that wasn't previously available. And the courses can be taken by individuals on their own, on a mobile device or even on a home computer." With a lean learning and development team serving 4,000 learners, it's critical for Overhead Door that the integration between their LMS and elearning courses is seamless. Reed can log into the LMS to directly access OpenSesame courses, pull them into the LMS, and assign them to learners. What used to take her hours now only takes her minutes, so she can spend more time interacting with various department managers and learners. "OpenSesame was an easy investment to justify," notes Kelly. "OpenSesame got us up and running quickly, and customer support is always there to answer our questions. We are saving time and money compared to the content we were purchasing, and we've been able to expand our course offerings while doing it." Exponential growth in learner utilization Investing in employees today and for the future Saving time and money with OpenSesame Upon returning to the office, Reed shared her findings with Jody, and they decided to partner with OpenSesame to revitalize Overhead Door's elearning program.
