Challenge
A prominent nonprofit organization focused on healthcare education needed a robust learning management system (LMS) to support its rapidly growing library of continuing education courses. They had an ambitious vision:
- Full control over user roles and permissions
- Integration with multiple external systems (including SSO, CRM, and accreditation tracking)
- A seamless UX for learners, content editors, and admins
- Data reporting tailored to internal KPIs and compliance needs
Despite extensive research and demos, the organization couldn’t find an off-the-shelf LMS that met all their criteria. Even enterprise-level platforms lacked the flexibility they needed—and would have required costly per-seat licensing and third-party customization.
Solution
They turned to One Cloud Media to architect a completely custom LMS solution. Our team collaborated with their internal stakeholders to design, build, and deploy a tailored platform that integrated:
- A modular course builder with quiz, certificate, and SCORM support
- User-friendly dashboards for learners and administrators
- Deep integration with their CRM and member database for real-time tracking
- SSO and third-party identity provider integration
- Custom reporting engine for certification management and organizational metrics
Our approach allowed us to deliver a fully tailored solution that not only met all their technical and operational requirements—but also cost less than most commercial platforms over a 2–3 year horizon, with no per-seat fees and full ownership of the platform.
Results
- 🚀 Launched within 6 months
- 💸 Total ownership cost was 30–40% lower than comparable enterprise LMS options
- 🧩 Seamless integration with 4+ external systems
- 🧑🏫 Support for thousands of users with robust role-based access
- 📈 Enabled ongoing expansion of their course catalog and educational impact
Why Custom Worked
The client gained more than just a platform—they gained control, scalability, and a partner who understood their mission and could evolve the platform as their needs grow.
