Meeting client needs with integrated learning solutions for Microsoft Teams

When synalis became a Zensai partner, they identified a major opportunity to meet customer demands. At the time, Microsoft’s growing digital ecosystem lacked a learning management solution. Tobias Felten, a consultant in the Digital Workplace and AI department, explains:

“Back in 2018, the Microsoft stack was becoming almost a complete digital ecosystem. But one missing element for many of our customers was learning management. We searched for that missing puzzle piece and found Learn365.”

Fellow consultant Martin Scheuss adds:

Learn365 was a great addition to Microsoft 365 because it integrates directly into Teams and SharePoint. It’s much easier to bring learning into the flow of work with tools people already use daily.”

By offering integrated learning solutions for Microsoft Teams, synalis helps clients onboard and launch Learn365 successfully, empowering organizations to achieve human success.

Helping customers scale learning effectively

Since partnering with Zensai, synalis has supported around 50 clients in launching Learn365. Specifically, their clients range from smaller businesses with 50 licenses to enterprise-level customers with over 50,000 users.

Tobias Felten shares:

“We act as a bridge between a customer’s IT and Learning teams, providing support to ensure they succeed. It’s incredibly satisfying work!”

Furthermore, Martin Scheuss highlights additional services synalis provides:

“We don’t just implement Learn365. We also help with tasks like migrating content, building custom integrations, or creating workflows with Power Automate.”

Why Learn365 is a perfect fit for clients

Learn365, as an integrated learning solution for Microsoft Teams, resonates strongly with synalis’ clients for several reasons:

  1. Seamless Microsoft 365 integration
    For example, Martin Scheuss explains: “The seamless integration with Microsoft 365 attracts customers. The user experience is strong and familiar, making it easy for learners and admins alike.”
  2. Easy content creation
    Tobias Felten adds: “Clients appreciate how easy it is to create learning content in Learn365. They don’t need tools like Articulate or specialist authoring software.”
  3. Compliance and security
    Because Learn365 operates within a client’s existing Microsoft 365 environment, it aligns with their compliance and security policies.
  4. Straightforward implementation
    Particularly, Tobias Felten highlights: “Onboarding Learn365 is refreshingly simple because all user data already exists in Microsoft 365.
  5. Continuous innovation
    Martin Scheuss notes: “We love that Zensai keeps evolving Learn365, especially by incorporating AI. It’s an important topic for both us and our customers.”
