MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS
Abara LMS offers a powerful multi-portal architecture for specific organizations whose needs are more advanced than what a typical single portal LMS can full fill.
Abara LMS can deliver a truly multi-portal system to corporate organizations and training companies with multiple use cases.
WHAT IS A MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS
A true multi-portal or multi-tenant LMS is one where you can achieve separation as per specific organizational structures. The separation could be of various kinds:
Simplified: personalized dashboards with branding, logos, and visual differentiators between organizational structures to reflect those differences
Advanced: simplified plus separation and isolation at a database level, allowing you to physically isolate specific organizational structures beyond the visual differentiators
Many LMSes claim to be multi-tenant but are actually simplified structures to provide personalized experiences, though users and their data are still co-mingled. And for many organizations, this is enough. But if you require a more advanced multi-tenancy, Abara LMS offers one of the most advanced multi-portal or multi-tenant LMSes in the world.
WHY YOU MAY NEED A MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS?
CONTROL
You need to be able to put hard separation between different user groups within your organization and cannot risk co-mingling of data and administrative access to data that they should not have.
DATA-PROTECTION LAWS
If you are a multi-country organization and the laws of data privacy are different across the world, you may want to use that as the core basis to achieve multi-tenancy.
DE-CENTRALIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
You may simply not want to create a large centralized L&D control structure and want to allow L&D decision makers and administrators to have more control and autonomy.
DISTRIBUTED BUDGETS
Depending on the nature of the organization and the number of employees in different business units or locations which have separate budgets for training, it makes sense to separate out the system to manage budgets accordingly instead of doing complex charge backs and cost accounting.
A multi-portal LMS may actually make life easy for L&D teams of global or multi-location organizations with different business units with separate P&L accounts. Building a business case for an LMS is never an easy task and doing so across a complex, distributed organization makes it that much tougher.
