Would you be interested in a tool that makes it easier to break into new accounts? Alternatively, if you resell courses from other providers to extend your curriculum or as part of managed training services, would you like to make the whole management of third-party relationships easier?

The Enterprise Study Network (ESN) helps enormously with both of these tasks. ESN is an e-commerce system that links training suppliers with consumers under the control of both provider and customer. ESN is a rapidly-expanding network of independent training suppliers that enables customised catalogues of selected courses to be built for individual clients.

Most corporates buy training from multiple providers and many are looking to simplify the administration effort involved. Some are outsoucing training management to a single supplier, whilst others want to keep the relationship with their chosen partners and are using training automation and ESN-backed portals to reduce costs and provide a better service.

"It's simple, user friendly and flexible enough to customise to our needs,"

"It's extremely invaluable in saving time and in effectiveness as well as efficiency. I wish I'd implemented it earlier!"

Regardless of whether you want to make it easier to provide an MTS service to your own customers, or just want to be able to reach customers already on the network, you'll find ESN easy to implement and very cost-effective.

Enterprise Study is neither a reseller nor a broker of training. Rather, with it's ESN system it sets a standard for communication that allows you and the training providers you partner with to automatically upload course schedules to central servers where the information can then be made available to the customers you choose. This aggregated schedule is provided as a turnkey e-commerce solution, with full reporting functionality, that can be integrated into your clients' HR and purchasing systems.

ESN offers:

  • An opportunity to offer your product set to new corporate customers or training resellers of your choice
  • A low investment route to providing fully functional e-commerce solutions to your clients 
  • Easy automation of course information upload and booking requests 
  • A more efficient way for you to resell other providers' training or offer a managed training service to your customers
  • Full control over what is offered to whom at what price 
  • No charge for joining ESN and uploading your course schedules

For those needing better management of their existing training business, a separate software offering, Enterprise Study Platform, offers the ability to automate all internal processes including scheduling, resource management, booking and invoicing.

As far as ESN is concerned, most of the UK's top training providers are already members and more are joining all the time. If you are not yet part of the network, then it's easy to add your product portfolio.

Full integration can be achieved between ESN and your particular internal systems using XML. This allows for seamless data flow in both directions: product information to the customer and purchase orders to you. Alternatively, course information can be uploaded to ESN using simple CSV files and customer bookings sent via email. In either case, once the links are set up, the whole process is largely automatic.

Remember, however, that you remain in control at all times of who can buy from your schedule and at what rates you sell.

Once you're on ESN, then your product set is available to a growing band of customer portals. For example, intermediaries like the Institute of IT Training that provides access to the courses of member companies through ESN, or corporates like ATOS Origin.

Atos Origin is a €5 billion company with a major ongoing training need that adopted ESN nearly a year ago. "It's simple, user friendly and flexible enough to customise to our needs," says Marie-Pierre Gouaux, Learning and Development Manager and the IITT's Training Manager of the Year for 2005. "It's extremely invaluable in saving time and in effectiveness as well as efficiency. I wish I'd implemented it earlier!"

Multi-source procurement is a reality in today's competitive training industry and before long it's likely that your customers will be asking you to join ESN so that they can access your schedule. Why not get ahead of the game and steal some market share?
