OpenText launches new learning subscription for partners

OpenText has unveiled a new Partner Enterprise Learning Subscription aimed at equipping partners with vital skills.

The subscription allows partners to build relevant product-related skills at scale, providing customers with confidence in their partner choice through enhanced credibility. According to OpenText, this initiative addresses skills shortages and capacity constraints, helping partners expand their capabilities and expertise.

The learning subscription offers flexible, unlimited access to self-paced training, hands-on lab environments, and certification vouchers.

Additionally, it incorporates training analytics, permitting partners to monitor content consumption and measure skill acquisition. This system aims to provide partners full visibility of certifications within their company by practitioner, product, and geographical distribution.

Joel Kremke, Senior Vice President Channel and Alliances at OpenText, explained the significance of supporting partners in delivering quality customer outcomes.

"Supporting our Partners to drive great customer outcomes is fundamental to our collective success. Ensuring every individual in the Partners' teams has the right skills and product certifications to provide the high-quality advice and service that customers expect is crucial," he said. "High levels of training and product certification are a great way for Partners to stand out and gain the advantage in those competitive bids. It's also great for customers who can confidently choose the right Partner for their project, safe in the knowledge that they have the right expertise to achieve a successful outcome."

OpenText's new Partner Directory, to be relaunched on its website, will display all certifications held by each partner organization. This tool is intended to help customers identify and choose highly skilled practitioners, allowing partners to differentiate themselves in a competitive market.

By ensuring that all partners can effectively implement and support OpenText products and solutions, the company aims to assure positive customer outcomes. OpenText emphasizes the importance of product certification for roles related to product installation, customization, administration, or other technical functions within a partner organization.

Partners are encouraged to review learning paths and available product certifications to evaluate the content needed in their subscription. OpenText invites them to contact the company for more details regarding the new learning subscription.
