Collaborative and Innovative, It's Who We Are

Simple. Effective. Affordable.

That’s course materials adoption, management, and delivery with Ambassador.

For decades, schools and publishers have trusted Ambassador to simplify course materials adoption, management and delivery. We bring everything together in a streamlined, effective and measurable way.

Our team knows what it takes to relieve the course materials burden. Our experienced, in-house technology experts manage and maintain all integrations and customized solutions. We do our own inventory management and fulfillment and we deliver 360-degree transparency for all transactions. Plus, our responsive, knowledgeable client services group is there to support everyone, every step of the way.

At Ambassador, we are always thinking of new and better ways to support the course materials lifecycle. Our revolutionary Course Materials Platform, RODA, is the evolution of our partnerships and represents our commitment to introducing the right kind of change, making it easier for students, schools and publishers to work together. RODA merges access, affordability and transparency. It is built upon the same reliable technology and support services schools have come to know and expect from Ambassador, plus added controls, functionality and analytics to address changing market dynamics. With RODA, course materials have never been easier.

 

I AM Team Ambassador

Our team prides itself on being the very definition of a partner, a collaborator and an innovator, serving higher education institutions, K-12 schools and districts, and publishers. With Ambassador, we are all on the same team. We understand and support every stakeholder’s role in the course materials lifecycle.

Students: We simplify access to affordable course materials and courseware.  Because we aggregate all content, deliver it through our easy-to-use interface, and hold prices consistent over a term or distribution, students don’t have to shop around or navigate multiple platforms and they have more time to focus on their studies.

Schools: We streamline course materials operations including publisher relationships. Relieving the burden from faculty, administrators and IT, we manage integrations through our Course Materials Platform, we help schools comply with DOE regulations, we facilitate extensive customer support, we handle all publisher related issues, and we provide 360-degree transparency to verify transactions and fees.

Publishers: We ease account management and reconciliation. Because we integrate with each school directly, we provide accurate and verifiable data for all transactions, usage and opt-outs so publishers are paid what they are owed. Plus, we enable publishers to block access for students who opt-out. We also relieve the burden from publishers’ support and IT teams by servicing and guiding schools.

Dynamic Organizations Choose Ambassador

University of Alaska Anchorage

We knew going in that Ambassador was committed to our success, but it’s one thing to hear it and another to experience it. From the very beginning, Ambassador has put our students and faculty first. They have delivered a solution that merges affordability with innovation, and they have been fully transparent every step along the way. Without a doubt, Ambassador goes above and beyond to ensure a high level of customer service.

Salisbury School

We used another course materials platform in the past and we even tried bringing the operation in house, but nothing really worked the way we wanted it to until we brought in Ambassador. The Ambassador team got us up and running quickly, exceeded our expectations, and they continue to be flexible and responsive, accommodating last minute changes.

Post University

We put students at the center of everything we do, and we select vendors who share our student-first philosophy. Ambassador fits this mold, and then some!

Global Education Provider

When we transitioned to Ambassador, your team had big shoes to fill, replacing a course materials provider that had a long-standing record of accomplishment in the traditional school space. You did this all so effortlessly. In addition to seeing measurable improvements, we have built a bookstore and course materials operation that works, relying on your superb technology and committed support team.
