Accord Plus: Is it for you?

The Accord LMS is an ideal Learning Management Solution for organizations of any size.  Our efficient learning automation technology in conjunction with the system’s extraordinary flexibility makes it the ideal solution for large extended enterprise applications.  Smaller organizations benefit from the affordable pricing and responsive personalized support.

For the first time Accord has partnered with industry leading content provider Open Sesame to release a product package designed specifically to support organizations with 200 to 2000 learners. The Accord Plus learning management system is a complete solution providing everything necessary to take your learning program to the next level.

 

The Accord Plus bundle comes complete with:

  • A 12-month license for up to 2000 learners
  • 25 online courses provided through Open Sesame
  • Ad Hoc access to future courses if needed*
  • Standard implementation
  • Live Training
  • Open access to the Accord Academy video training portal

Accord LMS, 12-month license

Accord Plus does not come with a stripped down starter version of the Accord LMS.  Clients receive the full current version of the powerful Accord Learning Management System with the DNN content management system, moderated discussion forums, advanced learning automation and  the full complement of standard enterprise features. This eLearning management system is designed to meet both current and future needs.

 

25 online courses provided through Open Sesame

Open Sesame boasts a content library containing more than 20,000 available courses from more than 100 of the best eLearning publishers in the business.   Accord LMS has been integrated with the Open Sesame library for many years.   In 2018 Accord started working with Open Sesame, exploring the idea to offer an affordable bundled solution for small and mid-sized organizations which need to supplement their in-house training with courses designed by subject matter experts such as; Leadership, Soft Skills, IT, Compliance, Safety and more.  The result of our mutual efforts is the Accord Plus LMS package.

 

Here’s how it comes together:

The Accord Plus LMS package offers a library of 25 courses hand-selected by Open Sesame experts from their most popular offerings. We are confident this curated library will be a great fit for many clients.  Should you decide to exchange one course for another, just let us know prior to purchase.  We’ll give you access to thousands of courses within the Open Sesame Plus library.  Simply  choose the best 25 courses for your  particular needs.   These courses can be assigned freely to any active learner within the accord LMS.

Accord Plus clients have the opportunity to change their course selection prior to each annual renewal.  If your training needs change, Accord Plus will help facilitate these changes.
