What is LMS Administration?
LMS administration is the day-to-day management of your learning management system (LMS). It covers initiatives like adding and managing users, uploading and organizing courses, enrolling learners, answering support requests, and pulling all reports on training activity.
LMS administration services will go hand in hand with an outside team, so you can keep control of your training strategy and content, and we handle the routine tasks that keep the system working.

Benefits of Outsourcing LMS Administration
Having a full-time LMS admin is difficult to justify for many organizations, and adding the work to someone's existing job rarely goes well. Outsourcing actually gives you a third option.
Lower Cost Than an In-House Hire
You can pay for the hours you need, without the salary, benefits, recruiting, or training costs. And for most L&D teams, that comes to well under the cost of a full-time administrator.
Experienced Admins from Day One
Our admins already know how LMS platforms work, so there's no learning curve on your time - really. They can bring practices picked up across many systems and our roster of clients.
Support That Scales with Demand
Add hours for a compliance deadline, a product launch or a migration, then scale back when things actually settle, so you don't have to hire or let anyone go.
No Gaps in Coverage
Leave, sickness and resignations don't really stop your LMS from being looked after. Our LMS administration team can cover the work, and your processes are documented so that nothing really depends on one person.
Your Team Gets Its Time Back
Your L&D and HR staff stop handling password resets and enrollment requests, as now they can spend that time on training design, stakeholders, and results.

|---|---|---|
| Cost | Fixed monthly fee from $2,500 ($30,000 a year on Essentials) | Salary, benefits, recruiting, training, and software seats for one full-time hire |
