Largest Philippine SaaS Contract Secured
OpenLearning Limited (ASX:OLL) has clinched a four-year software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreement with Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC), a prominent Catholic educational institution in Mindanao. The deal, valued at around A$300,000 over its duration, covers deployment of OpenLearning’s AI-powered learning management system (LMS) to a minimum of 11,000 learners annually. This marks the largest contract secured through its Philippine reseller CE-Logic to date.
Strategic Validation of Reseller Channel and AI LMS
HCDC’s selection of OpenLearning followed a competitive review, with the institution citing the platform’s AI capabilities, outcomes-based education support, and employability tools; including the Employability Advantage suite; as key differentiators. CE-Logic, OpenLearning’s reseller partner since October 2025, has leveraged its network across over 1,000 Philippine educational institutions to promote the LMS. This agreement follows the earlier Philippine Normal University deal announced in May 2026 and solidifies CE-Logic’s role in expanding OpenLearning’s reach locally.
Direct Sales Momentum Complements Reseller Growth
In parallel with reseller-driven sales, OpenLearning’s direct sales team has recently inked LMS agreements with several Philippine institutions, including Thames International School, Notre Dame Jolo College, Baliuag University, and Manila Central University. While these contracts are individually modest and unannounced, collectively they indicate growing traction for OpenLearning’s platform in the region. The combined momentum from reseller and direct channels suggests a strengthening pipeline throughout 2026.
Implications for OpenLearning’s Regional Expansion
OpenLearning’s CEO Adam Brimo highlighted the HCDC agreement as a milestone reflecting the company’s competitive positioning in the Philippines, especially through AI-powered features and educational outcomes focus. The company views HCDC as a potential reference customer that could catalyse further institutional sales in the region. Despite the deal’s limited immediate financial impact, it underscores OpenLearning’s strategic progress in Southeast Asia’s education technology market.
Philippine Market as a Growth Frontier
The Philippines remains a key growth market for OpenLearning, complementing its established presence in Australia and Malaysia. The partnership with CE-Logic, a division of C&E Publishing, has already generated multiple contracts and is backed by strong local relationships. This deal adds to a growing portfolio of SaaS agreements that contribute to OpenLearning’s expanding footprint and revenue base in Asia-Pacific.
Bottom Line?
While not yet financially material, this deal cements OpenLearning’s reseller strategy and AI LMS appeal in the Philippines, setting the stage for broader regional growth.
Questions in the middle?
- How will OpenLearning leverage HCDC as a reference for further Philippine sales?
- What is the timeline for converting the growing pipeline into material revenue?
- Can the CE-Logic reseller channel sustain momentum amid increasing competition?
