Run Open edX on your cloud, or let us host it for you.
Blend‑ed installs, hosts and maintains Open edX platforms. We handle the setup, monitoring, backups, security and upgrades, whether you’re launching a new platform or moving from an existing LMS.
“Our move to Blend‑ed’s SaaS Open edX was smooth. Their deep expertise made communication easy, handled our customizations without issues, and delivered a far more stable platform that’s ready for future upgrades.”
