Introducing Optimization Services and Learning Analytics
Throughout D2L’s 24-year history, we’ve always kept the needs of customers like you at the heart of what we do. This forms the basis of our professional services teams. With the continued goal of better serving you, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new Optimization Services department. This will bring together three of our impactful services—Learning Analytics (formerly Data Solutions Consulting), Technical Account Management, and Learning Administration Management. Together, these teams are ready to deliver best-in-class services.
Introduction to Optimization Services
The goal of our new Optimization Services department is reflected in the name. Whether that means assisting with your technical, data, or administrative requirements, we want to help you get the most out of your investment in D2L's Brightspace. Aligning these teams in one department will help us collaborate and improve our training and expertise. This will also put us in a better position to share our thought leadership with customers to help you continue innovating your learning delivery.
A Fresh Perspective on Analytics
Data is an important topic; and how you use it is rapidly evolving. In launching our Learning Analytics team, we wanted to do two things: simplify the services and solutions we offer and align them with what your institution or organization is looking for. We’ll also be expanding our team globally to better reach all our customers.
But for all that’s changed, there are a lot of things that will stay the same. Our reason for being is still to support you in making data-driven decisions through actionable analytics. We can do this by working with you to enable your teams and help them build their skills, or we can provide dashboards and visualizations in Insights Report Builder that offer ongoing insights into performance.
We look forward to partnering with you to help you achieve your analytics goals.
