Case Study: Cobb EMC achieves faster, mobile-ready workforce training with OpenSesame

Cobb EMC - Customer Case Study

Cobb EMC, a member-owned cooperative with a mostly field-based workforce, needed a more accessible and flexible way to deliver training to employees who often learned in short pockets of downtime. The team had relied on cumbersome authoring tools and needed a solution that could create simple, concise, credible learning that worked well on mobile devices and for both new and experienced staff. OpenSesame, using the Simon course creation platform, helped Cobb EMC turn internal knowledge into engaging courses quickly.

With OpenSesame’s Simon, Cobb EMC streamlined course creation by converting documents and expert notes into shareable, mobile-ready courses in minutes, complete with AI narration, slides, and bite-sized lessons. The impact was significant: a 30-minute course that once took 3 hours to build for desktop now takes about 45 minutes and is delivered across desktop, mobile, and iPad. The company also saved nearly two hours of in-person workshop time with prerequisite courses and achieved a 99.2% completion rate.
