OSC’s chairman, Professor William Scott-Jackson, explained, "The eLearning market in the Middle East is estimated to be growing by 33% between 2010 and 2014, so use of technology in learning is clearly a key consideration for our clients. After evaluating many learning-technology vendors, we selected Totara as the most cost-effective and high-impact system. We’ve seen the positive impact Totara can have on organisations looking to improve their capabilities and performance and see a real benefit for our client base in the GCC looking to HR department change, strategic workforce planning, and employee engagement."

Totara Learning Solutions’ CEO, Richard Wyles added, "We're very excited to be working in partnership with OSC to bring Totara to the GCC countries. Research tells us that Totara's social and collaborative eLearning processes will fit very well with local preferred learning styles, so we look forward to supporting the effective development of employees and organisations".
