MNJ Partners with BrainStorm to Elevate Software Adoption

BUFFALO GROVE, IL (October 16, 2025)

MNJ Technologies, a leading Value-Added Reseller and Managed Services Provider, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with BrainStorm, a premier learning platform that empowers software vendors, customers, and end users to maximize the value of their technology investments. 

With the average company now running 100+ apps, endpoint telemetry shows about 50% of installed software goes unused—underscoring the need for targeted, in-the-flow training and adoption programs*. This partnership addresses that gap by equipping users with the knowledge and confidence to fully leverage their digital tools. 

“Partnering with BrainStorm allows us to take our assessment of our customers’ IT environments to the next level, empowering users to unlock the full potential of their software suites. Technology is constantly evolving, and BrainStorm’s training solutions offer value even to the most tech-savvy professionals,” said Matt Ogden, Chief Operating Officer at MNJ Technologies. 

BrainStorm’s robust catalog includes training packs for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Slack, Adobe, and more, serving organizations of all sizes across industries. 

Joe Finlayson, VP of Partnerships at BrainStorm stated, “Licenses don’t create value—adoption does. With MNJ, we’ll turn Microsoft 365 and Copilot into real outcomes through personalized, role-based learning and analytics that prove impact.” 

Together, MNJ and BrainStorm are committed to driving customer growth, enhancing performance, and elevating end-user expertise in the tools they rely on every day.
