Case Study: Toshiba Global Commerce achieves centralized, multilingual eLearning and rapid content deployment with OpenSesame

How a newly acquired division of Toshiba optimized employee training as a result of an innovative online marketplace from OpenSesame and Saba

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions faced a major training challenge after acquiring a division: deliver courses to thousands of employees across about 40 countries, consolidate multiple LMS platforms, and curate high‑quality, multilingual content with a small L&D team led by Joyce Holmes. Different technologies across divisions and the rapid addition of 3,000 staff made it urgent to standardize and scale learning and leadership development quickly and economically.

Toshiba partnered with OpenSesame to centralize elearning via a single, globally accessible marketplace offering 35,000+ courses, multilingual options, and the ability to integrate across existing LMSs. OpenSesame also sourced custom content and helped build leadership and succession programs, resulting in faster content deployment, expanded course offerings, improved language coverage, centralized course management, and quicker launch and iteration of development programs.
