We Do The Heavy Lifting So You Don’t Have To
Thousands of Content Providers and Systems,
One Seamless Integration

Ambassador aggregates content and data from thousands of publishers and systems. We handle all integrations with your school’s SIS, LMS, Financial Systems and Content Platforms through a centralized interface so your team doesn’t have to manage and maintain endless integrations. Plus we handle multiple platforms simultaneously within each institution.
Money-Saving Financial Controls
for Bottom-Line Protection

Put an end to overpaying for digital content, including unused licenses. Ambassador’s proprietary PinPoint technology verifies usage and fees, so whether you choose to outsource course materials to Ambassador, or your school or bookstore prefers to manage fulfillment in-house, we make sure you only pay what you owe. Additionally, we initially front the cost for materials, and your school pays for items shipped to/accessed by students, minimizing your financial risk.

Your Own Inventory for
