BSA members represent some of the largest and most well-known software organizations around the world. In an environment where software is becoming more ubiquitous, complex and cloud-based, and where IT departments must now manage employees bringing their own devices to work (BYOD) and increasingly working remotely, managing software assets is becoming more important and complicated.
“The structure of our SAM certification course had to meet the diverse needs of our multiple external audiences from end-users who require a seamless user experience to resellers who wanted a unique branded learning experience to offer their own customers,” said Ha Nguyen McNeill, chief operating officer, BSA | The Software Alliance. “The Thought Industries platform enabled us to meet a very aggressive timeline to transition off an internal training LMS that was not focused on the ecommerce and marketing automation integration required to deliver a great experience for external customers. Additionally, reducing back-end administrative burden was another important requirement and why we selected Thought Industries over other solutions.”Read More: Amazon 2020 Innovations Each Seller Needs To Know
